The offset doesn't matter on whether it will clear your brakes. Its the disc type that will tell you. With brembo the front definitely won't clear with C disc. A-disc is Volk/Ray's version of high disc to clear bbk. The rears I know the B disc clears oem brembo, but not sure if C does, I would take a guess that it probably does. If not you can always get a sandwich style spacer for the rear to clear.

xxr 518 18x8.5--input on rear spacers?
I want to get some xxr 518 wheels, all black, 18x8.5 with 35mm offset for my 2004 g35 (with brembos). Sure I'd like bigger, but this is what I chose to budget for it and my stock-size tires are in good condition still. Staggered would be cool, but not really an option for this wheel unless I go to skinny up front which would prob not fit my oem tires.
I was looking at this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-XX...Q5fAccessories

As these are 8.5 in front/rear, I'm told my oem-sized tires will fit and that a 35mm offset will clear my brembo caliper covers. I love the look of these wheels, and they are cheaper than the other stuff I like.
****Biggest question is, should I/could I put a spacer behind the rear wheels to make it a bit of a wider stance, or would this be stupid?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated, I'll probably buy this within the week!

^I actually considered those same wheels in a 19 with a TA stripe. In the end I decided to go with something less sporty and more classy. But if you're going for a sporty look, I say go ahead.
The 19's would look better, and aren't much more. Tires will be more costly though.

So rather than look all badass as a goal, the wheels are practical replacements for stock, and my tires are fine for now.
Any opinion on spacers or not?
