So im thinking of just downgrading to v6 brakes so I wont need spacers at all or at least wont need such big spacers. I know certain wheels that wont clear the brembos will clear the v6 brakes.. So my question is how much clearance would I gain by downgrading to a v6 brake setup? Any help/info is appreciated.

Thanks
My question is WHY? would you want to downgrade to V6 brakes?
Just send back the rear wheels and get the right offset. Much cheaper to exchange the wheels than to completely change the brakes.
