Many expensive, forged, lightweight wheels come in fitments that will clear big brake kits. SSR, Volk, Advan, BBS, Work, etc.

I use 17x7.5 wheels from a 2000 Q45 as my winter wheels. They clear the brakes with plenty of room, but they're not light.

One relatively cheap lightweight wheel that should clear is the Enkei RPM2.

I've got two sets of wheels that clear my BBK with the 300ZX TT calipers. It also will depend on the spoke design. One set is my Volk LE37T, but in 18x8.5. Also my Konig Tantrum's in 17x8, +40 offset actually have a little more spoke clearance than the Volks. But the Konig spokes go all the way to outside of the wheel, where as the Volks have a good size lip. See my CarDomain for pics of the wheels to see what I'm talking about.
