Default Anyone running the Apex SM-10 wheels (18") on their 718 S/GTS?

I know that 18" fitments can get tricky on the S/GTS. I believe this wheel is advertised to fit but I'm not sure how (uncomfortably) close it sits from the calipers. Is there a standard for "comfortable/safe" caliper clearance for wheels?This would be for daily year-round use.If you do have that wheel, I would greatly appreciate feedback and photos!

Apex should be able to confirm for you. the barrels aren't stepped, IIRC

- Completely different circumstances, but may help you out....
- I installed a set of after market calipers (stoptech c43) on my track car and they recommended >= 3mm.
- I've tracked this car (1.2-1.3 g corning) and my callipers are 3 mm away from some flow-formed aftermarket wheels with no contact.

For what its worth, I recently received confirmation from Apex that while the rears clear, the SM-10 is 1mm away from the calipers on the fronts. Apex may be looking into tweaking the design for the S/GTS.
