nice wheels bro.
i am running the s-techs with p45r 30 offset on my ride. here is my situation this may save you sum time.
I am running 255/40s .
My rears are rolled no problems there.
The fronts have 8mm spacers and barely clears the brembos. i tried two 3 mm spacers and wasnt even close.
6.5 mm spacers wont make it. I have less than 1mm of clearance from the brembos on the closest point with 8mm.
As for rubbing, the fronts rub on any hard bump or easy cornering.
I'm gonna roll the front fenders sometime this week and hopefully that fixes my problem of the fenders cutting my tires during cornering.
I'll let you know how that turned out.
Good luck

Thanks for the heads up. From the test fit with the 5mm spacers they contact the Brembos barely. I figure with 1.5mm more space I should be OK. I heard with 8mm spacers you need to run extended wheel studs. I figured there would be contact during cornering and on bumps. Coilovers are definately in my future. Wasnt planning on rolling the fronts but now that you mention it I will probably do it just to be safe. Thanks again.
