Photos explain everything. The wheel spins freely, but it sure is close WITH 15mm spacers!

No way they would fit without the spacers. Good thing he listened to me and went with the 15s.
Gap looks to be similar to what I have with Volans. Once everything is tightened down, that gap might actually increase a little.

Looks about the same as the ATLs with 20mm spacers.

Looks nice Josh! Do you have any pics of the whole car with them on? Also does the tire have plenty of clearance to the top fender?

Greg, I think you have a little more clearance. I'm not sure whether to get 17" Pegs now, take the Comets to a wheel shop and have them take some metal off the back of the spokes, or just use them how they are.
Gatti, don't have a pic right now, and I'm didn't check how the fender was with the spacers.

Interesting to see what the Comets look like with the Porsche BBK........ you might the the first one sporting them I think? Post a pic if you can ..... I really want to see because I have Comets also but didn't have the tires to mount them on.

I'm just afraid of anything expanding and such, causing the wheel to hit the caliper therefore scratching it. They fit, but barely. Really don't know what to do.
