Angry 14 GS350 MOD. Spacers 20mm or 25mm?

Just picked up my 14 GS. Starting my mods with rims and tires.

Ordered Verde 20's with offset +38. Went to put em on... rim slightly ran against brake caliper. Cant install after CarID stated "guaranteed to fit" on website. Want to get the "flush look" and opinions on running wheel adapters/spacers...
Looking at videos 20mm seem pretty flush but wanted to see what 25mm looked like.

Was gonna run 235/35/20 tires instead now thinking 235/40/30 but don't want to rub.... NEED HELP!

What Verde wheels did you get, also post a picture of how close it is as if its slightly against you might need less than a 20mm.

What is the width of the wheel 20x?? putting a 20mm spacer would put you at a +18 offset which would stick out way too far. I am running 19x8.5 +30 and it sits flush. If you are just barely hitting the caliper just go with s 3mm hubcentric spacer to clear the brakes. If you want close to flush then go with a 5mm but that would require longer studs.
