Upgrading to akebono BBK
My question is I've got aftermarket rims 19s SAVINI WHEELSSize: 19x8.5(+2 Diameter) Offset: +45mm
will the Akebono fit good with my aftermarket rims or will I need to get spacers.

Caliper clearance with wheels can vary from company to company despite having the same specs.
example:
Enkei RPF1 18x9.5 +38 won't clear Akebono
Gramlights 57CR 18x9.5 +38 will clear the calipers
only way would be to test fit it or try to find on the manufacture's website for clearance information. or reference other cars with large calipers and check clearance

Sometimes it's not the wheel clearance that you have to be concerned about, but the valve stem clearance if your wheel has a deep inner lip.
Unless someone with the same make/model wheels with the same specs chimes in with a solid answer, moving forward can be a leap of faith.
My front wheels are 19x8.5 +32 and the only way to get clearance was to use an aftermarket valve stem adapter, and then a 3mm spacer for peace of mind. It's tight.

The spoke design can often be an issue as well.
