Default anyone with volk ce28n 17x7.5 et43...clear FHI brakes?

as the title says does anyone with these size volk ce28s know if they will clear FHI brakes on the 02-05 wrxs (the red 4pots)? cant find any info on if they do or not. I know they dont clear brembos (but dont know by how much).

eventually thinking about doing a wilwood superlite 4pot which i think they may clear.

Or is there a mathematical way to figure this out? If we know the 17x8 et44 fits brembos, with the 17x7.5 et43 do I just add 0.25in to both sides and move mounting point back -1mm? If so that may mean the 17x7.5 +43 clear brembos too. Don't know if my logic is right as I assume the wider wheel changed the spoke curvature a bit

That's news to me. 17x8? You sure? Even 17x8 you need at least 44 or 38 to clear, I've never heard of 53 clearing especially in the 17x7.5 and many have said the 17x7.5 et50 don't clear so i have my doubts
