JCW Brembo Brakes with 12mm spacers

I have a 2009 R57 with R98 wheels. I have ordered the JCW sport Brembo brake kit. I'm hoping that they will fit my wheels with the 12 mm spacers I have added to my wheels. Any thoughts?

Bumping this as there's been NO follow-up on R98's with 2nd-Gen JCW Brembos since 2012.

I would think 12mm would work. I dont see anyone running them w/ Gen 2 JCW brembo?

Yeah, was hoping for a more definitive answer...
Still looking for confirmation on who's fitted the R98's over the 2nd-Gen Brembos.

Actually we helped a customer install R98s on JCW brakes. We used a set of 20mm spacers to make it work.

And then we used our longer bolt kit

I run 12mm spacers on my lowered JCW with the big brembos. No problems.

jcw/SPACERS

Actually I have a '13 JCW that is lowered

2.5 " on 7.5 Rota RB wheels using 235/40/17 Sumitomo rubber with 12mm spacers up front. The car also sports an M7 tegris splitter so you know this car is almost on the ground. No problems.
