Caliper Clearance + Tire Question

they are a little bit more pleasing upon the eyes

What wheels are you trying to run that you are worried about how the brakes look behind the wheels? Unless you are running thin spoke wheels or you are parking with the wheels off and the car on blocks I would focus more on brakes that are easy to get parts for and work well for the performance level needs of the car. In most stock to mild performance applications stock type brakes will be sufficient. If you are autocrossing or other sanctioned racing events then by all means, go wild cause stopping a car is more important than making it go. But buying brakes purely on looks may not be the best avenue to judge. Just curious here.
