so this -1000 offset wheel wouldn't clear Brembos? it sure looks like it would.
i thought offset was a linear formula from 50 all the way to 0 as in anything 50 or less will clear, anything with 30 or less will clear etc...you never hear "these brakes work with offsets 30-50...a 29 wont clear it. nor will a -1000 offset."

LOL i say it will clear the brembos

Yes, that wheel you pictured will clear brembos, but thats not something anyone would run
in realistic offsets, concave wheels with narrow widths have terrible caliper clearance
this is speaking from first hand experience.

That is why you must run really low offset and sometimes spacers to get concaved rim designs to clear large brakes. So to get that look on a 7" wide rim, you really may need to run 0 or +5 offset, and potentially -5. However, that would be completely retarded and you better be putting those on a conversion van or perhaps a 87 corolla, in gold/chrome of course
If you actually handled a concaved rim and then a non-concaved rim and then looked at where brembos reside on the hub, this concept would become blantantly obvious
