17x7 Euromeisters with Brembo GT Calipers

I Just learned that the front 17x7 (ET23.3) Euromeister rims will not clear the face of brembo calipers .Also the wheel weights need to be mounted on the angled surface of the backside of the rim.Really a close fit with these calipers.

Question is,what is the minimum safe spacing (5 mm -7mm ?)from the front of the caliper to the rear face of the rim ? I have plenty of tire clearance with (215/45/17's) so thats not a problem.

You only need a few mm clearance between the wheel and caliper

you need ~2 1/4" clearance from a 32mm rotor

THANKS Much Bill.
I saw your wheel table AFTER I bought the 7x17's for the front .In retrospect I should have bought the 8"x17 for the fronts.
My rotors are 328 mm dia. and clearance from the rotor od. to the wheel id is approx 2".
Why do I need 2.25" in clearance?

I have decided these will be used for street rims only.

i measured from the face of a 32mm rotor to just past the outer face on a big red, ~2.25", this is the axial clearance from the rotor face

my rotors are 322 radially that keeps the calipers ~6mm closer to the axle center line than yours
