Default Iforged wheels made for non-brembo, what size wheel spacer required to fit brembo?

I've heard and seen the iforged wheels fitting just fine in the rear, but as for the front..oem brembo's bulges out more than the non-brembos.

Anyone know the minimum thickness of a spacer require to clear brembo's? Anyone ever purchased used iforged wheels made for non-brembo to place on their oem brembo equipped Z?

Any info would be helpful.

I always thought iforged wheels were made to order and to buyer's specs? I know my buddy just bought a G35 with iforged wheels and they fit with his OEM brembos

Actually, i came across a deal of some used iforged wheels originally made for non-brembo. It's too far for me to drive and check out the fitment myself.

I have 20" iforged wheels on my non-Brembo G35 coupe. I installed GREX BBK front and rear, and for MINIMUM clearance in the front I'd say a 7mm. I ended up installing 15mm front and rear though to keep it all even.

If the wheels work in the rear couldn’t you put the rear wheels in the front?

Don't buy front wheels. Get 4 rear wheels.
