Default Toe link clearance with 19" Forgelines

Fitted 19 x 10.5 Forgelines to the rear of my car and all clearances are fine with the exception of the inside edge of the rim to the rear toe link. Car is fitted with TPC rear toe links. It is really tight (hard to measure but approximately 5mm). I test drove it and it was fine, but was wondering if anyone else has this or if anyone knows if this will be a problem.
Thanks, Bret

No, it is 5mm away.
No evidence of contact at all.

For my tracking setup
I'm fitted with Forgelines 19 x 11, 47 mm offset rear -2.7 camber in the rear and 325 Hoosier
I don't have any issue other than having massive grip.

Reviving this as I just received 19" Forgelines....rear is 19 x 11 ET46 and the rim scrapes the TPC toe link. I could grind it down a bit but that will give me 1-2 mm. Spacers?
Any ideas are welcome.....

Wasnt there a thread on flipping a bolt and/or grinding the nut or bolt head? You could probably call Forgeline direct.

I have been sesrching RL with no luck.....TPC Suggested grinding down a bit and/or 3 mm spacer. Just emal Forgeline.....hope 11" is not going to create a lot of problems or changing the TPC toe links.

My setup is 19x9 (51) and 19x11 (46).......according to TPC they did had to grind a bit of the TPC toe links on the previous owner car.
I can turn the wheel but the toe link end scrapes the wheel......it was also suggested to use a 3 mm spacer. Not sure if I want to move the wheel/tire more to the outside.
Plan is to use Pirelli DH slicks in 255/650/19 and 305/690/19...will be a bit lower (around 0.5") on the front compared to the rear with that setup and rear is exactly same diameter as stock.
The question is...how much material I can remove?????

OT, but like the lower stripe and GT4 graphic. Sharp.
