ET in general has little to do with wheels clearing the Brembo caliper its more to do with the spoke/wheel design and clearance of the rim.........

As Alyn says , its the spoke design not the ET or wheel size that dictates whether they will fit or not .
For those unsure about the ET , all this is , is the distance between the centre line of the wheel , and the hub face , the number in the ET is in mm's , So an ET of 0 the hub face in the centre of the wheel and dead centre of the inner and outer rim , an ET of -35 , the centre hub face is 35mm towards the outer rim which takes the wheel further in the arch. most cars are a minus ET but they dont put that on the wheel , for big offset wheels they would have a + ET.
So the spoke shape would have no impact on choosing the right ET for your wheel , 2 wheels with the same offset , one wheel where the spokes go in towards the rim wouldn't fit the brembo's , but a same ET offset wheel with spokes that curve outwards and join the outside edge of the outer rim would clear big calipers.
Hopefully I have written that clear lol

Hi
From memory, we have trial fitted these Inovit wheels over the Brembo calipers fitted to the STi and am about 90% sure they don't clear without a spacer.
Thanks
