What size wheels to clear 14" Baer brakes?

I need to get some lightweight wheels and have been looking at weld and centerline. I an wondering if I can get away with 17s with the baer brakes though or if I have to have 18s.

18" and only certain 18" wheels have the proper clearance for them. GL

What they said^^^

My 14" powerslot rotors are the same way. I have 18" American racing wheels that were on the truck when I bought it and I had to grind the calipers down some to clear them.
