The brakes don't physically change the wheel offset, just the clearance between the inside of the spokes and the outside of the caliper will be affected. Some wheel designs will have more clearance than others.

depends whether the disc bell is any thicker than the standard disc, the very early brembo kits had 12mm thick bells, the standard discs were only 6mm!!!

Basically you ned to measure the bit that the whells studs go through, I'm pretty sure that the original's are 6mm thick, any more and the wheel will stick out more, and you'll also be loosing thread on the stud!!
