Akebono Fitment with Enkei?

Alright so I am getting close to having to doing front brakes on my 2015 Q40. The rears still have a large amount of meat on them still so I am not going to do them until needed. My question is if I get the front Akebono kit from Z1 would they fit my car. I have Enkei wheels 18x8 +45mm offset, square set up. I am not opposed to putting 5mm spacers on if need be or even 10mm spacers. I just don't want to order them when the time comes for me to replace the front brakes and then find out once everything is off that I need to add spacers for the clearance. If anyone could weigh in it would be greatly appreciated. Still have a few miles to go.

I'm having trouble finding which wheels you have. Can you post a picture?

There is a template in the brakes sub-forum that you can print out and test fit before you pull the trigger. It might be in the brake upgrade diy thread.

those wheels look to be Enkei PX-10. I originally thought you were asking about an OEM enkei wheel.
I agree with BeeW, i can't find a reference vehicle that has large calipers with those specs, so its best to just print out the template and check for clearance that way

I just printed out the template is it just me or does it appear to be a rear mounted caliper for the front? Idk i might just be looking at the template backwards. I will check later on today to see if they will clear with the template.
