I put a set of Holeys on my S yesterday and I noticed the front break caliper is really close to the inside rim of the Holey wheel.
I assume as long as its not touching this is ok?

no problems!

stock calipers are designed to a 'nominal' clearance to the minimum sized wheel for the vehicle, most OEM's use a very small nominal clearance ~5mm, with the many variations that can happen in the manufacturing processes, the caliper can end up very close to the wheel. The only time you may have a concern, is if you get the brakes really hot, thermal expansion could cause problems if there isn't ~3mm of clearance when the brakes are cold.

 

i run holeys on my S in the wintertime, no problems. If your calipers themally expanded so much as to hit the rim, your car is melting....

 

Coopers & Esses use the very same calipers, anyways.

 

just making sure, cooooool!

some S's have bigger breaks though right?

Nope. Unless a person has installed a BBK..
