I'm gonna try not to be an ass about this, especially since your ass was chewed in the fender brace thread, so here it goes...

1. Brake clearance has absolutely NOTHING to do with offset and EVERYTHING to do with spoke design.

2. Wheel offset is dependent on wheel width (i.e. a 7" wide +25 will not be the same clearance wise as a 9" wide +25)

3. Flushness is a VERY relative term. This depends on how wide your overfenders and how flush you want them.

SEARCH FOR THE WHEEL SPECS THREAD! There was a whole thread on that.
