SSS,
If you have 1/8" clearance then you will be OK.
3/16" is better, but 1/8" is enough.

Jon,
I talked to a friend of mine today, and he's done the swap and because there's so much material on the calipers, an extra 1/8 inch of material ground off of the outside circumference has no effect on the strength or performance, but gives room for stones etc. that could get in there and make noise. I wouldn't worry about removing a little material on the backside.

Just keep in mind, that if you ever change rotors & pads at the same time it may move closer to the wheel.
put on gobs of tape till it hits, then cut thru to check thickness, = clearance.. sorta like modeling clay..

It's the circumference of the wheel/caliper that's close -- not the distance between the wheel hub or spokes. No issues yet -- with about 100 miles of around-town driving. I'll be swapping back to the factory wheels/tires any day. I'll look for wear marks (hope I don't find any) and will do some cleanup on the old wheels and Dzus tabs. They're rusty after many trips to the Salt (I wonder why?) so I'll sandblast away the worst of the crud. It's bad enough on the tabs that I can hardly turn the Dzus buttons in their holes -- the wire has grown just enough, and is cruddy enough - that they'll barely move. Not what I want in case we're in the middle of Bumf**k Nebraska, on the roadside with a flat tire that needs changing.

BF, Nebraska, is about 105 miles from that other indeterminate location -- Goosecrotch, Kansas. Neither is where you want to be on a weekend when your vehicle suffers a breakdown.

Have found the darkness of night and wetness of weather can also enter into the equation along with location for breakdown "fun factor"........
