Clearance between calipers and alloys please

[ibiza_95]

Ive just put my old alloys on my new car and it looks awesome.
But theres a small gap between the caliper and the inner alloy, heres a photo:

Is this enough clearance do you think?
Will there be much if any caliper movement?
If nothing moves itll be fine...
Id say there is around 4-5mm in there

if your wheel moves 4-5mm you'd crap your pants at the vibration....

that's loads of room compared to me

i know a rally driver locally that uses old porker rims on his darian(sp) he takes an angle grinder to the back of the spokes for a bit of clearance.

Note the bare metal - had to file a wee bit off so that the wheel could rotate fully

With the wheel, nuff comments about the tyre pressure allready

That kind of tyre pressure normally comes with trials cars and fiddle brakes.
