question about ce28n + akebono bbk

im planning on ordering a set of
ce28n
19x9.5 +12
19x10.5 +12

along with akebono front and rear bbk

1. years back i've read something about hi pad and brake fitment and was wondering what that was all about
2. does the pad make a difference in lip size and how concave the spokes are? im getting into the concave look.
3. will the akebono bbk fit the specs listed above?

i would prefer not to use spacers
planning on ordering the wheels sometime early march so any help would be appreciated
thanks

CE28n's don't really have a concave look regardless of the face ordered. Both of those sizes will clear BBK's though

ive seen an m3 with ce28 and the spokes of the front rim seem to be convex while the rear is concave

what is the diff between high pad and no high pad?

Yes, I am aware the faces are different, I was just pointing out that the concaveness is very slight, so not my choice in wheel if you are looking for a concave design. Another option with a similar design but more concaveness is the SSR Type F

Tell the vendor that your ordering from which brake system you have and they should order you the proper fitment.
