Re: wheels don't fit...
The 18X8.5 RGR's have a 35et per the Tire Rack and the 18X8.5 BBS CH's have a 30et. I know this because I am ordering a set of CH's this week. I find it funny that the offset is different considering they are the same size, same manufacturer and for the same application.. I know for a fact the BBS CH's have no fitment issues.

Ouch - spacers will fix it but this sounds strange
only because the CHs and my "custom" 9.5x18 rears (LMs) are ET30 (ET25 fronts) The rears have ample space for the stock calipers and the fronts clear my Brembos without spacers.
Now if I moved up to porsche fronts and put the Brembos on the rear (same as Mov-it and Boxster S) then I'd need 5mm front and 10mm rear spacers to make em fit.
If they told you they would fit they should eat the cost of the spacers and extra length bolts which will prob run you around $150-$200
Best of luck getting it sorted
