I thought the rotors were the same size and it was just Brembo calipers/pads...

The calipers are bigger too. Trust me, I've searched every corner of the internet trying to find a set of 18" Bullitts that will clear Brembos and I haven't found one yet. None of them have an offset that will allow the wheel to clear the calipers.

Look at the difference between your front and rear. Look at the clearance differences.. especially.

If you want wheels that clear the brembos.. you are pretty much limited to OEM 19x9s, Boss takeoffs.. or GT500 takeoffs. There are aftermarket rims that will clear.. but they are few and $$$.. and also real big and heavy.

BBS makes a rim that will clear and arent heavy, but they are REALLY pricey.

Yeah these days everyone wants the jet black wheels. I think it resembles steel wheels that are missing hubcaps. Just my opinion tho
