It really depends on the rim design, as correct offsets vary rim to rim.
I do know the stock rims are +30mm IIRC.

I'm guessing you'll be ok, based on that but I could be wrong.
Mine are +25 up front.

Generally speaking to clear brembos you should be no more than +23 offset. But sometimes you need to go lower because of the wheel design if it is a 1 piece wheel. If it is a multi piece wheel, they usually have different disks for BBK applications.

not sure if offset has anything to do with clearing a BBK ... i think its more on the design of the wheel. I went with a +19 up front and it looks really aggressive and it'll clear brembo's .

You can see pics of that wheel on my cardomain. I have 19x9 +24 in the front and 19x10.5 +30 in the rear. I'm running 5mm spacers in the front and rear, but no pics of that though...

Point is, you should've gotten a lower offset..

I thought it was the other way around. For brembo's or bbk's you need a greater offset. I have 2004 G35C with brembo's with Volk GT-7's. My offset is +30 up front and +24 in the back. I have 19 x 9.5 and 19 x 10.5.

His wheel in the front is 8.5" hence the recommended offset of +23. I would personally get a +15 offset on a 8.5" wheel with 245/35 tire.
