Do Enkei RPF-1 18x9.5 +38 clear the brembos?

I know "aggressive" fitment looks much better, but I'd like to leave the scrub radius alone. I've heard rumor that the Enkei RPF-1 18x9.5 +38 won't clear the brakes. Is that true? Has anyone mounted them to see?

I would figure that they would as the stock wheels are 18x8.5 +38. One of my friends has 18x8.5 +38 RPF-1 in black and they clear his brakes. Here's a link to a pic of his car:

I'm not sure. I think because of the shape of the spokes they *might* be touching the calipers.

good choice on leaving the scrub radius alone...make the car feel natural...haha

too bad enkei doesn't have something in between...its either 38mm which is stock and risk hitting the caliper....or 15mm which is balls out...haha

I went with the Enkei RC-T4 in 18x 9.5 +30. As it turns out the stock offset and significanly wider tires can rub the strut. So I needed a bit more clearance at the expense of scrub radius. .
