Caliper clearance advice please

Hi

 

Just fitted my beatifully refurbished alloys (AVS bought from Mantav8) & they look absolutly stunning- bit worried about clearance of fronts to calipers tho.

 

There is approx 3mm between caliper (Alloy type) & inside of wheels- is this sufficent- how much do they expand when hot?

 

Hope you experts can advise wether need to fit a 3mm spacer!

 

Regards

 

Dave

    You should see my wheels, you couldn't get a gnats dick in between my calipers and the wheel.

     

    I was a bit concerned when I first bought the car but not had a problem yet.

    Just about to order Smithys 324mm big brake kit, will this be ok with 18" wheels?
