Akebono Brake Clearance

After an incredibly long attempt to upgrade wheels on my AWD 2014 Q60S I think I’ve finally come to a decision. I originally ordered 19x9.5+22 Tandems which cleared my Akebono brakes with ease, but poked too much for me so i returned them. I’ve finally decided, with the big brakes in mind, I’d like 19x9.5+38 Gram Light 57DRs or Work Emotion D9Rs. However, these are both made to order and can not be cancelled or refunded, so I’m just looking for a confirmation that a 19x9.5+38 will clear the Akebono brakes. Thanks. I’m on swift springs if it matters. with front adjustable upper control arms and currently on the 19x8.5 oem 15 spokes (i think they have a +43 offset?) with a 225/45/19 tire

I've never owned a set of Gram Lights, so I cannot comment on caliper fit. But another factor is what size tire you intend to run on those wheels. Some, like a 275-35-18 can be wide enough to catch on a corner of the front fender well. That results in the car stopping right NOW!

The Gramlight 57DR in 19x9.5 +35 clears the Akebono. example can be seen on this Q50

I'm trying to do some digging to confirm with the Work D9R.
