Wheels bolted on properly now and although wheel weights miss the caliper the gap is even smaller, luckily the wheel turns without touching but its mighty close!

Jesus!they are close,I thought my 360 Hi-Spec 6 pots were close under my 18 inch Buddy Club P1s but no where near that close.If you pick up any gravel it will rip your wheel/calipers to sh1t.Car looks great.How big a job is it to fit those rear wings and how much wider are they? second thoughts dont bother about the rear wings,just looking at the pics they change the look of car too much.

might be a good idea to fit some kind of scraper just before the caliper to clean off any gravel before it wedges between caliper and wheel

I don't mean to be bad but what happens when the brakes heat up and the metal expands?
