Can't get my wheels becuase of Brembo's....Someone please help!
This is extreamly frustating. I ordered 2 months ago the new zenetti heirs for my G coupe. I recieved a call yesterday that because my car has the brembo setup, the wheels would not fit. So i decided to go with the zenetti lucre's instead and the same goes for those wheels also. I'm sure there has to be a way without going with spacers. I refuse to do the spacer thing. These wheels come in differnt offsets for other cars. The wheel lug pattern is 5x114.3 and the offset range is 20 to 40 for the G coupe with bremdos. The wheels come with a 20 offset for the front with a 20 x 8.5 wheel. The rear comes in a 40 offset with a 20 x 10 wheel for the G's. I dont know too much about offsets but I realized that the lexus sc has the same wheel lug pattern and the offset available for the rear with a 20 x 10 wheel is 43. Can this fit?
Basically, can some one inform me on what the offset would have to be to clear the brembo brakes in the front and back, and still sit flush with the fenders. I really want these wheels so please advise. If you check out www.bigwheels.net you can get the offset range and bolt pattern for every vehicle and the available offset and bolt pattern for any wheel.

Offset doesn't determine whether or not a wheel will fit, the spoke design does. However, a smaller offset will have a better chance of fitting. Also, the Lexus SC doesn't have large brembo calipers to get in the way. The only way to know fitment for sure is trying the wheels on yourself or finding someone with the exact same setup.

^^^ wat he said.
for wat it's worth, im running 41 on the rear with plenty of clearance to the
brembo's but getting pretty close to the rear shocks (275 tires 19x10 wheels).
love the clean look though.
hit my link for picts. my camera doesn't do
justice for my car though...

Lee, I don't recall Zenetti is customized wheel as Asanti or Amistad...
So, as long as you can put them on, it should be okay - I don't think they will CUSTOMIZE their wheels just to fit your car. Spacer can sometime do the job if you don't mind
