I got the 18s today. The wheels look awesome, they totally clear the rotors BUT they do just barely hit the strut. it's the bare upper aluminum block portion, right above where there is a threaded hole that nothing appears to thread into.
Now with that said, this can be fixed one of two ways - the first is simply when I buy the centering ring conversion from 72.56 to 66.9 I buy one with 8 mm (1/4 inch) of spacer built into it and then get the extended lug nuts that drop 1/4 inch further into the hole and neutralize the lost clamping force. The second and simplest in my opinion is to shave down that bare aluminum knuckle where it touches and be done with it. I will opt for a bit of clearancing on that edge of the strut corner and all the other things should fall into place.
