Interesting. Only downside is that you won't be able to fit a BBK with that offset in the future.
I beg to differ. I agree in the sense that you will not be able to fit a "BBK" similar to the stock Brembo setup, in which you have a fairly large caliper on a small rotor which positions the caliper so close to the hub.
I will be running the same exact wheels specs with my racing 6/racing 4 Endless BBK. I should not have a problem being that the caliper will be alot further away from the hub with the 370mm rotor I will be running. With this offset the spokes curve outward the closer they get to the barrel of the wheel. These pictures depict exactly what I am saying:

This setup works fine with a Stoptech BBK - I know that much. I actually had to use the spacer to clear my brembos because as Kwame stated, the caliper sits real close to the hub. Since the offset was already a little aggressive I was hesitant to putting on a spacer as well, but I didnt clear the caliper. I actually filed down the caliper a hair on the bottom where it was hitting for a temp. solution before I got the spacers but it was still too close for comfort. I plan on having the brakes powdercoated/painted in the future anyways so I didnt care too much about shaving the bottom. You cant really tell in those pics because the spoke is sitting in front of the caliper, but you can see a little of the bare metal. I will touch them up now once I get some paint mixed.
