17" rear wheels possible with Sports brakes?

So, how do we find out whose car this is?

I am definitely not opposed to 17" wheels.
That is my car, when the original owner still had it.

You can put a business card between the front rim and brake caliper and that's it. So there is a clearance issue, and there is scatches on both to prove it. You can run 17's but I would not recommend it, though I might run those rims and race tires in October for a race.

That is my car. I didn't start this setup, but I have used it for a couple events not. I'm looking to upgrade to 18s

The wheel sizes are Front 17x9 +15 w/ Kumho Ecsta V710 275/40 and Rear 17x10 +12 w/ Kumho Ecsta V710 295/40

Here is a pic of the inside of the rim. The caliper and rim doesn't rub all the time just when things are really hot, or if I've been off roading, or picked up something on the track.
