Default Will 09 wheels fit on 2010 car?

I was reading that the brembo brakes are bigger on the 2010 cars, This is the
reason for the new wheel design? Has any one try mounting the 09 wheels on the 2010 car, Will it clear the brake calipers etc.
I don't like the new design and want to purchase 08 or 09 wheels!

Where did you read that lie?

The only thing changed is the brake control system. Nothing to do with the calipers or discs.

In a word - YES They're still using the '07-'09 wheel design in Canada. The physical size of the brakes (disc and calipers) on the F have not changed since it's introduction in '08.

Where did you read that? Sounds like you read something false.

The 09 and 10 wheels are the same exact offset and size. There are no changes to the factory Brembo's or the BBS manufactured OEM ISF wheels.
