Default just picked up a new set of wheels

i just picked up a new used set of wheels. they are work meisters s1 18x8.5 front with 41+ offset and rear 18x9.5 41+ offset. i measured the front caliper to the spoke and it has about 1.5inch of clearance. i was wondering if that is enough room to clear ls or tt calipers?

It's going to be very close, my last set of Volks were 18x8.5 +37 and it had a bit of room left, but it depends on the face of the wheel mostly to determine bbk clearance...if you got a low-disk up front, probably won't clear the TT's...

These wheels are also a big change in terms of your wheel fitment from the ones pictured in your sig...

i just did some measurements from the caliper to the spoke of the wheel and they have about 3inches of clearance. i read a thread here stating that i need only 2 3/4inch of clearance so i think these wheels will clear the ls calipers. oh and heres a pic of my new wheels. will take better pics this weekend.
