As Pentalab and Norm pointed out, the barrel taper of the F14's won't work with the 15" Brembo brakes. I was recalling fitment on the 14" Brembo brakes with the F14 wheels and stand corrected.

Forgestar changed the barrel shape last year. Now all the F14 wheels have the CF5 barrel. It added a little weight, but gave the wheel more clearance.

While not the exact same brake kit as the OP asked about, it is very similar in size (S550 PP brakes)... 380mm rotor and 6 piston Brembo caliper.

This is an 18x10" CF5 wheel, which clears these brakes by over .100"...

We tested this back in 2015. Back then the 18" diameter F14 barrel would not clear this 380mm rotor/caliper combo...

Since then the 18" diameter F14 barrel has changed to the same style as the "more brake room" 18" dia CF5 barrel, which I am pointing out above. Forgestar designed the CF5 from the beginning to clear a 380mm Brembo setup, and then re-designed the F14 in ~2016 to match the CF5's shape.

Many other wheel brands require a spacer, longer wheel studs, and other sorcery to clear these brakes in even a 19" diameter wheel, and most cannot clear with an 18" wheel.

Cheers,
