How much clearance should there be between the brake caliper and the wheel? Its really close on my front wheels with these 18s i got. Like i prolly could only slide a piece of paper between the spoke and caliper.

If they clear they clear. There should not be any flex once they are properly bolted on. I would say put them on, drive SLOWLY around the neighborhood to confirm they clear. If that shows good, I would say you are good to go.

^^^ What he said.

If it hasn't hit yet, it most likely wont.

yes, if its a hair or a smidgeon away. youre fine. but one thing to consider, are your pads new when you mounted these new wheels? if not, then you must reconsider your options here.

The tires i got them with are dryrotted as ****. I need to wait till i get new tires to mount them.

so did you install new pads when you changed your wheels? if not, then youre going to eventually need to change pads.
