Anybody got any ideas if 18x9.5+22 will clear the Genesis Brembos without any issues or needing spacers? I know most people run 18x9.5+38, and those still need a 10mm spacer if they run Genesis Brembos. Thanks

Those will most likely clear with no issues. The Gram Lights 57 DR 18x9.5", 38mm, clear the Subaru Sti Brembo's easily. However, it is only because the Sti brake rotors are quite a bit larger than the ones that are used for that pieced together Genesis Brembo package, therefore, pushing the calipers outward under the higher arched section of the 57DR's spokes. I stayed away from the Genesis kit because the brake rotors weren't much larger than stock, didn't seem worth it. I purchased the 27WON kit, and will be installing it as soon as our "snow- maggedon" subsides here.?

They should clear with that offset, however that low an offset poses another challenge which is the wheel poking out from the fender line about 10mm. Depending on your suspension and tire setup, you'll have rub.

General rule for BBK clearance is to have less concave wheels. We also have the Gen Coupe BBK on my Blue Si, and after testing various wheels it's always less concavity = more clearance

Right now, I'm on Eibach Prokit, will I rub if I run 235 tires?
