BBK upgrade on a 2012 model

Huh? That was about as clear as mud

Are you asking if stock wheels will clear the stock Akebono calipers? The answer is yes. You said BBK though. Stock Akebono calipers are bigger than base calipers but not generally referred to as BBK. If you have something different it may not fit. Definitely not fitting with base wheels if a 6 piston front.

Akebonos will fit with base 18 inch OEM wheels no problem. You're safe.
