only possible "they don't fit" way would be;
1. does not clear Akebonos
2. bolt pattern is wrong

Forgestar wheels will clear akebonos without any issue. especially with custom offset.
You should have dealt with GetYourWheels.com (myg37.com vendor)

Here is mine with Forgestar F10 clears Akebono and running stagger 20x9/20x10.5 for AWD sedan.

To everybody that is having a hard time understanding why the wheels don't fit, it's all about the spoke pattern/disk. The spokes themselves are not clearing the akebono brakes. It's not about offset. The 07-08 sedan sport wheels do not clear the akebono brakes without a 15 or 20 mm spacer, but the 09+ sedan sport wheels do. Both the 07-08 and 09+ front wheels are 18x7.5 +45. Some wheels are designed to accommodate large brake calipers, some are not. I know that some volks (gt-30 I think) won't clear the akebonos unless you get the right disk.

Thanks for all the input

I've contacted Getyourwheels.com and will most likely be using them to get set up.
