Default Inside Diamer of Wheels for Caliper Clearance

I would like to know which sized wheels will fit my rotor/caliper combiniation. I don't need the caliber clearance to the back of the "spokes" of the wheel. I am looking for the radial dimension inside the wheel. Also, I realize that not all sized wheels are the same.

I have a radial dimension (CL to extreme outside of caliper) on the front of 7.725in (196mm) and a radial dimension of 7.925 (201mm) on the rear. I would like to run 17's on the front and 18's on the back.

I would say it looks doable with stepped lip hoops based on comparisons with our C5/C6 fitment templates...probably not with soft lips though. The internal shape of the wheel hoop and how that relates to the external shape of the caliper body just as important when trying make tight fitments work, so short of making templates for your brakes and then taking that to the various wheel manufacturers, I'm not sure anybody can definitively answer your question.
