Wheel size offset
Yo,
I'm looking at getting new wheels and I have the measurements of the wheels that will fit, but I've heard that just because the measurements on a new wheel match, it may still not fit because of the oversize brakes we have. Does anyone know if this is true. Can I just order some wheels that match the OEM measurements and be confident they will fit? It will be OEM size wheels, and tires are not changing. Thanks!

You should talk to whoever makes the wheels you are interested in and ask them. Or if you can physically get your hands on one of the front rims, just unbolt one front wheel and place the new rim on their without its tire to make sure you clear the caliper. You really want at least about 3/8" clearance there for safety and the ability to wipe down your calipers when you clean it.
Of course all my advice here is assuming you do indeed have the exact same offsets and size wheels as the OEM which I believe you said.
Good Luck

For an even concave look, 20x10 et35 all around. Or 19x10 et35 or 19x9.5 ET 40 I believe will give a concave as well but not 100% sure

Nice Wheels. Might have considered these instead of my new ones. I’m curious how they macined those crossing holes. Those holes really make the wheel look nice!

Agreed . It’s absolutely absurd. These are made to order so the price is much better then bbs fi-r prices. since they don’t have to pay for a warehouse full of already made wheels. Comes with authenticity card, forged materials, strength etc. definitely a well made wheel.

I found this wheel size tool online and it looks pretty awesome. Does good job of comparing offset and tire diameter..
