As long as the wheel is torqued on properly, he should have no issues. I ran like that for over a year no issues.

As long as its not touching your good.

Like green goblin said as long as the wheel is torqued down properly theres nothing to worry about. The wheel and brake caliper move respectively and that space should never change.

I've seen guys sand down their brand new BBKs to make them fit their wheels. One specific time was a guy with a 240 sand down his bbk to fit his meisters, and it was a sad sight to see. even he had more clearance after sanding than you HXS!
