Nice looking wheels - that sucks they dont fit. Were you told they would? Based on the front offset I am thinking you need spacers - would that help or are the barrels definitely too small?

i ordered the spacer along with the wheels, they are just too small for 365 Brembo.

But the wheels would fit my friends M coupe with AP Racing BBK.

I am surprised they dont fit the Brembo 265 kit. I was assuming 380 front kit at first. I have the AP Racing Kit for my car and the OEM 18's will fit with spacers.

Thats too bad - I bet those would have look sweet. What size spacers do you have?

Yeah that does suck. I have 10mm and 18mm spacers. If the barrel of the wheel will fit over rotor/caliper, but the problem is spoke clearance, let me know - your more than welcome to try to see if that helps. I know I borrowed a set of wheels with a similar lip/offset and in order to make it work I think I used the 18mm spacers as the spokes would hit the caliper otherwise.

Sorry to hear about your misfortunate. I confirmed with Volk awhile ago that the 18" RE30 will not fit with the Brembo's, but WILL fit with the AP racing brakes. Only the G2 and TE37 will clear the Brembos
