I just drive it in and out of the drive way, so I think it's still okay

I got the same problem last time with my brabus rims, offset was 35 and it was 18 inch. Used it for almost 3 months, no problem with my ebrake, but dont risk it. Just buy shorter lugs and it will be fine.

This is a common problem when trading for aftermarket wheels. Shorter lugs will take care of the problem. Unfortunately, I learned the hard way. I'm glad that you've gotten this taken care of.
