Hey Mike, not that I can give you an exact measurement, but there is a decent amount of clearance there. Probably 3-5mm if I had to guess. Here are some pics to help you gauge.

You're welcome. And yes, my pinky is hitting the caliper there. Some spots there is more clearance than others though. So I think there is about 3-5mm total depending on the area of the caliper you are touching.

That looks real good. Can you give me a good side profile shot? I want to see how that staggered setup looks from the side.

I also didn't want the front tire to look too meaty compared to the 18" rear so that another reason I stuck with the 40 series instead of going 45.
I'm curious why you went with double staggered? J/w. Looks beautiful BTW

Thank you Wolf. When I was originally searching for rims to buy I was looking on wheelflip.com. I came across RPF1's that were on an S2000 and loved the look of the double stagger. I texted the guy selling them, found out they were sold, but loved the look so much I decided to buy a set of my own. Here are a few pics of his car that he sent me. Maybe some of you already know who he is because he had extensive work done to his S. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 70-80k.

This looks so freaking good. I've always wanted to do a double stagger like that. I love that the 18's have a 9.5+45 option.

What suspension are you running?

Oh yeah, Im familiar with his car from random S2k pages and Instagram. Didn't know he was double staggered though... haha Guess I never paid attention!!

It's unique. I like it.

Thanks Drake! I have Buddy Club N+ coilovers.

Yes sir, Wolf. Definitely unique for sure. Kind of the reason I went double stagger. You mostly see everyone running 17x9 +45, so I figured why the hell not try and be a little different.
