the offset of the wheel will tell you what you need to know.

the offset isnt listed on the site, but ive seen plenty of wheels that have the right offset but the curve or design of spokes would hit the calipers.

If it hits the caliper then it's not the correct offset. I believe you need a +35 offset to clear the brembos. The search function is always your friend. Treat it like your wingman!

Sorry twigglus, but right offset not allways clear brembo calipers. . You have to look for wheels with right offset+right design of "spokes".I done this when I was shopping for wheels for my RL and I have to tell You I have very hard time find right wheels.

i have found many wheels with the right "offset" thats in the range that should fit and will for with some wheels but with design of spokes that wont work, pretty much anything with a spoke that curves in toward the brake caliper has to be just about test fit to find out.....


but i emailed customwheel.com and they said the Verde's would work if i got a +20 offset but it would stick out 3/4" more than stock wheel did. But somehow i dont think a +20 offset would work.
