Even the Pro Comps I now have (and am still getting used to) with 4" BS are sitting very close to the calipers.

My wheels are 16x8 w/ a 4.5" BS. With a 265/75 tire, it puts the tire right at the edge of the fender. Since Im not lifted, it rubs like crazy on the running board ends (Problems 99% of the people on here wont have). The spokes clear the caliper pretty well. They actually have more space than the stock wheels betweent eh spokes and caliper.
I have the American Racing ATX Victor.

I run the same setup and had to shave some metal off the inside of the front fenders as well as take off the plastic caps from my running boards. After my 2" BL, I have no clearance issues what-so-ever! In fact, there was whole thread dedicated o this awhile back when I had the problem.
