Only if the spokes are designed to fit over the calipers though

Also, it depends on the rim width and tyres you're running. I had 215/45/18 with a 45 offset on a 7.5 inch rim and they'd rub the arches a little.

The best offset (the correct one) is ET48-53, slightly out and you can get rubbing, but stick in the limits above and you should have no problems
