I have the brembo 13" BBK and also had to go with 5mm spacers and 18" x 7.5" Volk rims. My rim spoke to caliper clearance is ~1.6mm. According to brembo (I called their tech support line), this is sufficient if you have good rims like forged ones.

Niteqwill, you will probably need spacers with an offset that high. Mine are 18x7.5 with +48 and I would probably need a spacer, but might barely make it.
50+ will probably need a spacer.

I thought about that. However, I talk with several sources (including Shad at CompTech) and they said it wasn't necessary. The net affect of having spacers only on the front will throw the balance of the car a little toward the rear. In fact, I've heard a lot of FWD SCCA road racers do this to improve the balance of the car.

Call Rotora. They can e-mail you a template that you can cut out and lay on the inside of your rim to check for adequate clearance. I have one for the Accord that someone sent me. If you want it, PM me with your e-mail and I'll forward you a copy.
