Default Caliper Clearance???

How much clearance is needed between rear calipers and wheels? I just bolted up my 15x8 summit stars and they come very close to my calipers but they do not touch. I would think that some clearance is needed for when the caliper gets hot and expands but I'm not sure how much

I doubt they'll expand that much. Your talking thousandths of an inch. How much clearance do you have?

I would guess around .001"-.002".

I plan to check the clearance using clay to be sure
