How will you know "BBK" will fit the aftermarket wheel?
If a tuner shop does not have a sure answer....how do we find out/measure the "BBK" will fit the aftermarket wheel/offset?
For example, if I want to buy ENDLESS brake kit. Will it fit a 19" wheel with
+38(front), and +43 (rear) offset?

You need to look at the 'disk fittment' of the wheel (e.g. high disk is usually needed for big brakes) and also the spoke design.
If you know the brand of wheel you can check to see if other members with BBK are running them.

Most BBK manufacturers provide "templates" that will mimic the outline of the BBK and rotor - ask them for it. If you take the template and trace it on a piece of cardboard, you can place it against the interior of your wheel to see if there are any places where it will make contact. It is advisable to have at least a 2-3mm clearance between the caliper and the spokes of the wheel.
Good luck!
