I think you only need to go up about 1/4 of an inch; barely noticeable but it will clear your tires.
you can't go up that high on the KW's. I'm about as high as you can go with them.

also hate you for tires - I liked my RE760's 
I've just never actually seen a tire with a 340 treadwear rating.

All that work to get an additional 1/4" of clearance so he can keep his current wheels and tires, yes.
I'll never forget driving down to VABeach and rolling my fenders in GOGOGO's garage with Alex's help. I was cursing up a storm. But then I thought, "It'll be worth it in the long run." Damn thing still rubbed just as it had before.
After that set of wheels(which I thought went well with the tan interior), I vowed to never again buy wheels that didn't fit.

I am so glad you all had good weather and all returned home safely. 
I'm ESPECIALLY glad I listened to George and had no po-po issues. My nastiest ticket is about to drop off my record!

They are probably phenomenal for daily driving, though. I've just never actually seen a tire with a 340 treadwear rating.

Can't speak for Alex's '06, but AP1 wheels are 16x6.5 +55 for the front and 16x7.5 +65 for the rear.
Just to give you an idea, a standard set of "S2000" offset CE28N's are 17x7.5 +50 F & 17x9 +63 R. Generally those will not rub with proper sized tires on them(225F/255R). My SF Challenges were something like 17x7.5 +48 and 17x8 +48. Damn things rubbed. Everyone had said, "Oh, those are okay for the S2000."
Retards, the lot of them.
Nowadays, morons call that kind of offset(and even less) "aggressive." Idiots. Looks good parked. And that's it.

Or, folks could buy wheels that fit.
