BBS LM rims with a BBK?
So I located a shop to get me the BBS LM's that I wanted, and my question now is, can you run a BBK with the BBS LM's and no spacers?
Here are the sizes and offsets:
The fronts are 18x8 +50 and the rears are 18x9.5 +55
After dealing with my old le28 VOLKS +50 in the front, I would have had to run a 10mm spacer just to clear the spoon calipers.
Do you think the LM's would clear an Endless bbk or spoon calipers since their a mesh design?

They wont work with a BBK. I would suggest staying with the smaller Brembo or Spoon calipers VS the larger ones, only because less nightmares, unless you talk with us first. 
so how would I make spoon calipers work with 18x8 +50 BBS LM's in the front?

Guedo, I had 18x8 +50 in the front, and there is barely enough clearence for the stock brakes. I believe the magic number I calculated to run some "normal" sized BBKs (this excludes endless or stoptech) would be +37, so you would need a 13mm spacer at least.
