If the brakes don't fit, yes.

then if you get spacers, you may need guard work as offset will change

Ive run 17x9 et 40 and 20 and its no problems on stock brakes, aggressive look!

Will specs have nothing to do with brake clearance unfortunately.
I'm guessing the proposed wheels are a secret

If you run coilovers may need a spacer up front depending on tyre size!
