Default Nissan Thin Chrome 5-spoke OEM wheels/Brembo?

Does anyone know if these will clear the Brembo brakes on a 350Z?

Use a offset calculator to compare your current wheels to the new wheels. With the new dimensions, check the car with a tape. Do you clear the suspension, brakes calipers and fenders? Reference: http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

as far as i know, every 350Z wheel clears brembos, right? maybe not these because ive never really worked with these, but id find it hard to believe any RWD car with OEM offsets of 30+ wouldnt clear the brembos.

the only good thing about those wheels is if your trading your car in added value
