Unhappy Wheel HELP. XXR 521 x 20 x 10.5 all around

So I will start off by saying I'm a bone head for buying these prior to reading up on front wheel offsets b/c of these giant Akebono brake calipers. :*[ Does anyone know if there is any way these wheels will fit?

Car: 2008 G37sport coupe

Wheel specs:
XXR model 521 x 20" x 10.5" wide all around.
Tires: 245x40 all around.
Offset: +30

I'm almost to the point where I may have to purchase 4x 20"x8.5" wheels to complete 2 sets. :/ just to sell one..

Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

its more about the spoke design than the width/offset. You could run those widths and offsets with a more concave spoke design.

Just throw some washers on your studs and see how much you need to space out and then that will let you know where you're sitting. I'm sure with a little bit of effort you could make it work!

Spacers, but then you'd probably poke out. Dam 10.5 all around should look sick, a +30 doesn't clear the bbk?

Those wheels have a very flat face with a large lip... I'm going through the same issues haha.

Once again, offset has nothing to do with caliper clearance, it's all in the spoke design

^^or "disc type". You can get the same exact brand and style wheel with the same offsets but different dic type and one will clear and the other may not.
