Default Big Brakes + Normal Disc Rims

I have asked this a couple of times here and there but never got a solid response. I am thinking about upgrading my brakes to 6-piston Brembo package. The problem is that my front wheels are not High Disc (or whatever you call it). The rims up front are 19x8.5 +45. Do you think the spacers would help? Would my wheels stick out from my fenders? I really have no money and time to buy a new set of wheels just to be able to do this upgrade.

Thx in advance.

Holy Cow Dude! 6 piston? You treacking that beast?!

I would put the $ towards the 2 new front wheels, then brakes. Assuming the brakes are close to $4k, 2 new front wheels are a minimal cost. Remember you can still use the same tires.

Im no wheel expert, but I really dont think those wheels will work at those offsets. Brembo should have a template you can use to check, thats the only way to be sure.
