comps seem to be the ones with the most clearance
ring hispec and ask the dimensions you ned to ask for cleanrace wise as they should be able to tell you what wheels will clear and what will foul
how much do yours hit by, mm's or inches?

10mm might be enough to get away with using just a 10mm spacer and the standard wheel nuts/studs

What ET offset do you have? I'm on the lookout for wheels to fit over Focus RS discs with Brembo calipers on a saph.

the offset won't make a difference, it's the shape and clearance of the rim
i've got a shallower offset on my mondeo rims by 12.5 mm on an et40 instead of an et52.5, but the spokes clear the brakes by 5mm and i would have needed a 15mm spacer on the standard rims
