Default Wilwood clearance?

Anyone have the 4 piston Wilwood superlite's on thier car? Wondering what wheels you are using that clear them? I measured my 10 spoke SS wheels and I only have about 1mm of clearance. It is suggested to have 2mm just in case. I'm hoping maybe I was just slightly off on copying the template to the cardboard and that someone will post up they have them and they clear. The kit I'm looking at is the 14-gm-0180 from Precision Brake. 12.81 rotors with the 4pots. Thanks.

A friend of mine was installing some a few days ago and his 98-01 style WS6 wheels didn't clear. I think 10 spokes will be fine since the spokes have an outward angle. Just throw a wheel spacer on there if you have to.

Yeah, Victor from PBC suggested that too. I'm looking at 1mm clearance right now, so a small spacer would work. I'm also tempted to go with a bigger rotor which will push the caliper farther outwards and away from the place where clearance is tight. :-)

You'd need a different caliper bracket for that idea.
