Default caliper to wheel clearance.

Running a pair of 10 x 18 ET65 on the front of my euro S that has the full front S4 suspension and Brembo brakes. Unfortunately the calipers are fouling slightly on the spokes of the wheel. It's touching where the ribs are beneath the Brembo name on the caliper. It won't take much grinding to relieve the rubbing but I have no idea what a safe clearance would be.

18x10 ET65
996.362.140.03
They are the 5 thin spoke BBS wheels. The fronts are normally 18 x 8 ET50. Pics after I pick up my new treads. I actually like the thicker spoke wheel better but they don't have the 65 back spacing.

Hmm...Even with such a great offset I can't imagine the wheel not sticking out past the fender??

Looking forward to the pics.

Small handful of people are running the same setup, usually on track cars with race rubber:
