Stock is +53 and most go with +45 minimum to avoid rubbing with those tire sizes.

This is not set in stone though because after researching this to death, plenty of people have lower offsets and combos that have no problems.

That doesn't make any sense. The 15x7 CE28's can clear ITR calipers which are much bigger and have a similar or larger disk.

The problem isn't the offset. It's the actual spoke design.

Most wheels have arched spokes, which is independent of offset. The T1R might clear, but it isn't because of the rotor size... but most likely due to the fact that it is narrower than stock. Measure how far forward, from the rotor surface it sticks up.

No....not that Chinese crap BBK.

ITR as in OEM Integra Type R.

CE28's have massive brake clearance.

Maybe for Hondas. Not so much for my VR4.

First, caliper clearance is not a real function of offset though 35 mm is way too low. If you come across a 45 to 52 mm offset wheel that barely contacts the caliper' consider ising a 6mm, or 1/4"., spacer between the hub and wheel. If that won't do it you need another wheel.
