Where did you get the rims on your car in this months modified magazine. I can only seem to find 18" not 17" applications. Thanks, any help would be appreciated.

You will have to call them aboout that size.

 

Will 17x8.5 even clear the brakes without spacers?

 

^ size has nothing to do with clearing spacers, offest does.

The SSR comps were purchased prior to that companies financial troubles when they were still readily available. Luckily I got 2 sets of them. I do not believe they are currently available in that size. I would call Neal at tirerack.com and ask if/when they will be available.
And yes, they clear the stock calipers in the 17x8.5 w/o spacers (I believe mine have a 35mm offset)

Offset has almost nothing to do with clearing calipers either.

Pad height and spoke design, which determine the "x-factor" are the important things.
