If you're referring to the XXR's, yes, you will need spacers. The spoke design doesn't accommodate Z32 brakes.

I have thought about 215/35 but would prefer the 215/40 probably. I'm aware tire brand will make a difference but a general estimation would be nice. I'm running a 225/40 Federal 595 and would consider keeping it a federal or something along those lines.

Federals tend to run bigger than posted spec. So by theory, you're really running a 235/40.
Like the
frsh4 said, feds rubbed & dunlops didn't. The reason is because they run bigger than other brands.
Try 215/40 Feds, if they still rub, jump ship to 215's on another brand like Dunlop.
35 sidewalls is a bit of an overkill for stretching. Keep it at a 40.

My question is how big of a spacer will i need to clear the brembo's with the cobra reps?
Was thinking a 15mm but not sure. When i get the wheels, ill measure it by putting washers on the studs to space them out but just trying to see if anyone can help me out to see if im close to the right spacer.

Well, without the spacers, you will have 4mm less inner clearance than you had before. And 16mm outer clearance from the fender.
I'm not 100% but don't Cobras clear big brake kits? Is this an issue of disc design?
Anyway, I think a 15mm should be fine.
