Brembo GT setup and wheel fitment

Today I installed my new brembo gran turismo braking system on my evo x. I realized that the stock wheels will not fit in the front because o the massive calipers.

Any advice on the size and wheel offset that would work with this setup?

Do you want an aggressive set up or just barely clearing your new brembos? I say 18x9.5 +22 should be enough to clear the brembos. The distance of the spokes of my advan rs to the brembo is well over an inch.

When I first got my GTs I was running the LE28 18X9.5 +28, no clearance issues. Now I'm running 18X10.5 +15 TE37s, lots of room for brakes. But that's on a 9, hope that helps.

18" wheel with +22 will not work with the GT brembo. Got to go +28.
I learnt the hard expensive way.
Thanks guys
