You can tell mainly by looking at the profile of the spokes that the Feathers will clear most reasonable diameter BBK calipers. The spoke is flush with the outside of the wheel face and the backside of the spoke is heavily scalloped for clearance. Add to that the fact the 12.2" Wilwood kit is not particularly wheel clearance challenging, as it's caliper is pretty low profile for a fixed caliper, and the Feathers won't be an issue. If you don't want to trust me, buy one wheel, print out Wilwood's brake fitment outline and put it on some cardboard for stiffness, and "fit it" with the wheel. Worst case you're out the $150 the one wheel cost. I'd bet that $150 the Wilwood 12.2x0.81" kit fits the 17" Feathers with room to spare.
