Check this thread for some options that are known to work:

Since you have Brembo's pay attention to the clears Brembos or not.



Also, there is this other thread which is Type-S specific so anything that fits on a Type-S will clear the Brembos since Type-S have Brembos.

^ yes do some research.... general rule of thumb do not go narrower than a 8" wide rim... second rule of thumb typically the offset has to be +40 or lower to have enough gap to clear the brembo calipers.... its not true on every rim since some spoke designs take up more/less room...

look around more on the rim/tire forum you will find lots of info
