As for disk fitment, that's fairly easy to see. Why don't you post pictures of the front rim? Looking along the car, and show lip, spoke angles, etc. I'd say generally if the spokes don't curve out from the center a fair bit before going back into the edge of the rim, they're probably not very high clearance.
Also, do you know the brand and rim size/width (I asume you do) - if so, maybe you can find the offsets the rim was/is offered in (I'm assuming it wasn't a custom rim).

...But I greatly appreciate all your help and time you've given.I will take some pictures of the front rim tomorrow. These are I-Forged Flux rims. 19x8 front and 19x9.5 rear. I have tried contacting them on numerous occasions concerning the situation and have received no response.
I will check in tomorrow with some pictures.
Thanks again,
Anthony

Cool Anthony. 
VERY uncool of i-Forged! I also bought my rims 'used' and I learned HREs have a unique serial number engraved in each rim. So I gave HRE (our cool friend Bob on here) my serial number to make sure I had enough clearance for big brakes (because Bob says HRE tests lots of brake kits with the rims!) and got an answer right away.
Maybe i-Forged rims also have a serial number on them?

I contacted Steve and he told me that if I have 2.5mm from the closest part of the caliper to the spoke then it will fit. If not, then a 5mm spacer will do.
I can now officially say I know the verdict.
Thank you everyone for your help and patience.

yeah there should hopefully be some numbers at the back of the wheels that will have info on the offset and stuff
however, i already saw 2 cases of iforged wheels (don't get me wrong, it's just facts) with no info there there were no way of knowing offset, etc...
