On my car I don't run original rims so I don't really know, I run an antiquidated set of Keystone mags (they rule, at least I think and thats all that counts, I shoot for a late 70searly 80s look so they fit the bill) I have about an inch to inch and a half between the wheel and caliper, don't quote me I'm not too sure never thought about it. My only problem is that I drag sometimes, but remember I live in KY and I have the suckiest roads in the country, anytime I drive/drove out of state I never had a problem dragging 'cause the roads don't beat you to death. Don't get me wrong its partly my fault too when I drag hitting about 55-60 into a dip or pothole, the only change I had to make was I had to get longer tie rod ends the rest of the deal was a simple bolt on. BTW it gives the car a killer stance while its at it.
