I just got some American Eagle 166's (15") for street use so I can AutoX on my stockers. I put them on just to see if the clearance was good and found that the interior diameter of the wheel is REALLY close to the caliper and brake disc. How much space is required/ recommended?

I've got a race next weekend and really need to get this thing settled, so if there is any help anyone can provide, I would appreciate it.

 

If you can stick a paperclip in there... you should be cool...

 

Thanks for the help. I'm trying to get them to replace these with another model, if not, they're going to refund my money.

sucks too, since I got them sooooo cheap.

 

Make sure you can fit a wheel weight between the caliper and the wheel. I've knocked off a wheel weight before w/ Alcons on 13.1" rotors on my S4.

You should be fine. Just as long as it isn't touching them now. The Mugen MF10's are extremely close to the calipers too. I think there's about 1 mm of clearance.
