[V8] V8 s6 wheels

[Ed Kellock]

I don't think the caliper is going to be the issue here.
Your concern is likely going to be in clearing the UFO itself.
The shape of the spokes on their back side is going to
determine that.  The only way to know for sure is a test fit,
unless someone else chimes in on this specficially.
I would think 2mm would be plenty of clearance.
Spacers are relatively inexpensive and easy enough to obtain.
3mm spacers should provide plenty of clearance and are thin
enough you shouldn't need to be concerned about using any
on the rear.  I'd go ahead and get the wheels and try them,
then get spacers only if necessary.
