18" wheel clearance report on Sport model

For those who has got the 18" winter(all season) wheels on their G37Sport, could you pls post your measured clearance for Front wheel and Back wheel please?? (clearance between the inner rim and caliper) ??

I just put mine on and got almost nothing. I've been driving fine though but not sure if i should continue ??

Clearance
Front: 1mm
back:0.5mm

Wow, what wheels do you have? How can you even measure that small of a clearance?

I thought mine were tight, and I have a clearance of ~1 cm.

I think that running 0.5 mm could be pretty dangerous....

you want at least 3mm clearance from the brake calipers on any wheels...

i can fit a business card through 3 wheels but the back(passenger side) may even be touching the rim. As much as i'd hate to get rid of these wheels, i i am gona have to do it.
