that's the pretty good deal. i would buy them just for the look because i don't track my car and the stock brake look small on my 19s.

are you referring to the hub as "the barrel"?
i don't know where you draw your conclusions from, but spoke design actually remains fairly identical across a broad variety of sizes in many designs. the key difference being the rim actually being "slid" inboard or outboard relative to the spokes/hub. this is especially the case on 2-piece wheels.
again, offset primarly effects strut clearance/flushness to fender. any effect on caliper clearance is a byproduct of changes in/to spoke design between sizes.
Okay follow along. Two otherwise identical wheels have a slightly tapered ID (smallest ID at wheel face, largest ID at wheel center). One wheel is "offset" more than the other. The radial rotor/caliper clearance will be slightly greater on one wheel because the caliper is closer to the wheel center on the more "offset" wheel.

fucking 3sgto decided to crash after i'd typed out a resonse.
bottom line, there's only 2 ways to effect caliper clearance. change spoke design, or increase/decrease thickness of center hub. on any given size (just different offsets) neither one of these is the preferred method of manufacturers. instead, MFG's treat the hub & spoke as a solid unit, and modify where the spokes attach to the RIM...to generate the offset. even between sizes (18x8.5 - 18x9.5) this still remains largely the case.
OK, I'll explain one more time before I go ballistic with the delete posts key.
We are talking about the clearance from the brake caliper OD to the wheel barrel ID, which is the ID of the wheel, you know, the part that connects the 2 beads of the tire.......
WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT CLEARANCE FROM CALIPER TO SPOKES
Don't make me draw a damn MSPaint diagram.
you mean to the inner edge of the rim. that's a much simpler term.
Simpler doesn't matter when there's a correct term for that part of the wheel. "Inner edge" is the inner bead area, where it would interfere with the strut, the entire "ring" as a whole is called the barrel.
Remember this? I believe I am in!
Who else?
Help them, for they know not that which they do not know!
