whats the lowest off set from 43 that can be ran in the front 20x9 or 20x9.5 that clears brakes with no spacers?

Not sure I get what you are asking. At OEM +43 there is little to no gap from the wheel spokes to the calipers; it's a super tight fit. In the other direction you can go to +23-+18 and be flush with the fenders (depending on suspension and tires). This puts more space between the wheel spokes and the calipers.

wheels that came with car have spacers without them they wont fit and I hate it, trying to find same wheels but with the right offset where I don't require any spacers

30 or 15 offset what I found for 20x9 so far fml

Changing offsets doesn't change brake clearance. Spoke articulation and disc/pad size determine whether a wheel will clear your brake calipers.

So I added 25mm spacers too my 20x9 et43 wheels, that give it an offset of 18. That doesn't mean you can order a 20x9 et18 will fit. I to was hoping that there was a chart to assist. The spoke size, direction, concave, convex all play a part in fitment. Most wheel retailers will tell me the only way to verify is to test fit. But if it's a different wheel your test fitting to one that is on the web it's still crap shoot.

Let me know if you find the magic potion.

Good luck
