The problem area with Brembo's is not the face of the caliper but the inner edge/corner where the piston bulges the casting nearest the hub.

The style of the wheel in how the spokes flow out from the hub centre are the controlling factor.
The smaller the offset the more these spokes will be pushed out from the hub centre flange.
If the spokes naturaly flow out sharply then the offset it not so critical.
