Don't have the wheels yet, so can't test =/
Thank you!
the wheel template for the stage 2 kit had the edge of the template near the caliper touching the spokes of my RPF1 17x8 +45. although the edge that touched the spokes was still part of the template, it was not an actual part of the caliper (the caliper was rounded and there is a little space from the dotted lines on the template and the caliper drawing). I am assuming you would have about 1mm of clearance if the actual caliper was there instead of the template

the stage 1 template had no problems.

the circled corner in red was the portion that touched the spoke of the rim. the edge of the rim curves back inwards towards the barrel of the wheel causing the edge of the template to hit the inside of the spoke while the actual caliper drawing SHOULD be clear of the spoke. however, it is extremely close and I couldn't tell for sure. running a 2mm spacer as a crutch shouldn't be a problem, though I am not sure if it is "safe" under hard track conditions. someone will have to chime in on that part
