Ugh. Just drove two hours to pick up some wheels. 18x8.75 and 18x9.75 +20 on each. Rear clear fine but fronts do not clear. How can I fix this? I'm under the impression I need spacers extended wheel stud's and extended lug nuts. Also was told that running spacers on the front will make it more out then the rear and look bad.. Any suggestions ?

Sell them and buy proper fitting wheels?

Please post offset and how big of a spacer you would need to clear the Brembo's.

They are +20 offset. And I think a 10mm would clear or 5mm even

Try 5mm. As they're just slip on spacers and don't require extended studs/lug nuts. Anything larger than 5mm will, though.

Or you can get bolt on spacers.

Ship me your Brembos and I will ship you my dual piston OEM calipers. Problem solved and no need to risk messing around with spacers or lugs / studs.

Keep in mind different manufacturers can have different inner barrel and spoke angle dimensions. What brand of wheel are they and what is the part that is not clearing?

Most important question!

Is the caliper hitting the barrel or the spoke?

As others have stated, without knowing how close the wheel is to the caliper we can't suggest a solution

Some wheels just won't work with Brembo's unless you run a massive spacer so this should have been something you researched prior to buying the wheels.

From your specs I am guessing they are some sort of XXR's?

spoke i think?

An 8mm will not need extended studs. 10/12 will

Those stick out 20mm more in the front and 32mm in the rear. FWIW

I'm still trying to figure out why you drove anywhere other than down the street for XXR's.

once 5mm clear with lugs tighten you don't need to go with a wider spacer as its not going to flex, travel or change distance due to bumpy roads or any other conditions i can imagine by your reasoning.
