As I replied in the last thread you started on this, they will not fit. They won't fit no matter how many times you ask ;-)

it will fits.i did that on my car.but the gap between the brake caliper and the spinning wheel is about .060" of an inch.that's about the thickness of a stick of gum.and after installation the ABS light came on due to the fact that the abs sensor distance need to be ajust.i don't know where you live but if you're in socal,take it to Street Image in Baldwin Park.they did mine and know all about it.

Tinman is right, Bomb. In absolute terms, it will fit without rubbing. Eagle1 said that there is only ~1 mm of clearance though where you would want a minimum of 3mm or so.

Even though it doesn't rub when it's sitting in the garage, I think the question you have to ask yourself is whether you're willing to take that chance when you might be driving a little on the hard side. Even though the brakes and wheels are mounted to the same assembly, the metal is still capable of flexing. If it flexes too much...

The spacers will not fix the problem. The clearance issue is with the inner rim, not the spokes.

Go to their webiste. I believe they have a template you can download. Cut it out and you can physically check for yourself.
