Thx Cecil! LOL, I told my gf that already & she said, "I CALL BS!" 
Mos def post pics of your new wheels when it arrives as well.
Really? I didn't know that. When I said, 0.5" I was just taking an educated guess. I won't know for sure until I actually measure. Henry, what's the minimum amount of clearance would you say I need for either the Stoptech or Rotora BBK front/rear? I'm just curious, just in case I do it in the future.
Thx Seize & LexArazzo for the kind words.

ummm, i think in general you want maybe around 1" to 1.5" space to be safe. i remember when we first put on the trafficstar on the sc430, it was still with stock brakes. there was a HUGE gap between the back of the spokes and the stock calipers. probably was like around 1.5" easy. now with the stoptech i have maybe 1/4" at most.
think of it this way, the stock caliper is 2 pot with springs, and the two pistons are actually on the inside. so what you see in the front, it's just a pad with springs. now imagine it being 4 pots, meaning 2 outside 2 inside. you need quite some space to "store" those pistons right?

Very nice. I've always been a big fan of full custom wheels (I.e. HRE,Iforged,Kinesis,DPE,etc). Maybe now that my car is paid off, I can save up some more cash (after I get the car painted that is) and pick up a set of custom wheels again.
But I'm a bit confused on why a 8.5" wheel ET23 would stick out. I'm running a nine inch wheel and I'm thinking I'm at ET25 and I want to run a 10 - 15mm spacer, I think the wheel is kind of sunk in a little too much. I guess this is just from the extra camber of lowering????
The front of these cars can take quite a bit of offset, I'm thinking my rear wheel may fit in the front.. heh heh...

). Based on this & other info (Thx Henry for making the sc430 fitment guide 
), I decided I wanted a higher offset thus me doing 23mm originally.Thx for everyone's kind words.
Henry, I'll keep that in mind if I ever get a BBK. Thx!
