So the area that is hitting is this area around the bolt that goes through what I'd call the "bridge" area. Not sure if that's right or not. The Bolt itself is fine but there are two reliefs on either side of it that are causing the issues with rubbing. The rest of the caliper just clears the barrel of the 18x9 ET45 PF01's:
Inside of the wheel where it is rubbing:
Close up: Ignore the closest scratch, that's from installing the wheel, the furthest away is the one I'm talking about.
Clearences baby!:
I'm hoping those 3mm spacers show up so I can see just how close we really are. Push comes to shove and I'll run the 5mm spacer. I'm getting 7 turns of the lug nuts which is what I'm getting using the stock lugs with the stock wheels with the 5mm spacer and I haven't had issues yet with that setup while autocrossing.
I would be shocked if the same area would hit on the 18x10.5" wheels but without one here to test fit I can't say for certain. Worst case, run longer studs and a small spacer. The S550's front studs are kind of short compared to the S197 studs... or at least they seem that way anyways.
