mesh style wheel aggressive fitment on performance pack brembos

I previously made a post looking to fit a mesh style wheel on the performance pack brembos, as these are my favorite wheel style. After a TON of research about the caliper size and consulting the wheel manufacturers, Aodhan gave me some confidence saying they previously cleared the 2013 STI, which were pretty similar caliper clearance to our PP brembo kit. I was determined to get this done WITHOUT spacers, which I'm happy to say worked out!

Yes it is TIGHT (1-2mm clearance at the caliper for me), but I will CONFIRM that these clear the caliper. I have ran these for almost a month now (driven ~2km) and have not had any issues with this tight of a clearance.

No the camber and tire stretch is not needed, you can see I have a lot of fender clearance, so a less aggressive camber and more meaty tire is possible.

Dunno if I'm the first to try and clear these kind of wheels on stock body but hope this helps others. Learned a ton about fitment over this process, it was a huge headache, but I love the result and hope others enjoy it as well.

Specs:

Wheels: Aodhan AH02 (white face, polished lip), 18 x 9.5, +30 offset
Tires: Nankang Ns-II, 215/40/18
Suspension: BC racing coilovers (maybe 3" drop?)
Camber: -4 deg front, -6.8 rear (absolutely not necessary to fit these, BC camber plates are near maxed, have camber bolts for fine adjustment, rear SPC LCA is not maxed)
