Brembo Caliper Clearance

I want to put on 18x9+20 all around, and i have the BBk Brembos and i was wondering before i purchase the wrong wheels would that clear ? right now i have 18x8 +45 and it clears.

lets take a look at your logic.

if a certain spec'd rim clears with no problem, why wouldnt a MORE aggressive set clear?

Low offset = you bring the wheel out closer the fenders ...
High offset = closer to the calipers ....

shouldnt be a problem. if you are using a brembo from tls, oem tls wheel clears them, which is 17x8 +45
If you are running an aftermarket brembo, i would say somewhere around +30 will clear them
