Can some one with 18x10.5 +15 measure how many mm clearance there is, from the wheel spoke to the caliper?

Thanks in advance..

I'm sure there is clearance. The question is how much clearance. Im going to have my set machined so that I would be making the +15 into a +20 (making more fender clearance).

I would say machining 5mm would be no problem

best of luck running 275's in the rear on lowering springs without rolling your fenders

stiff coilovers maybe but on springs you'll definitely rub
