We checked clearance to the strut and wheel well liner and looks like plenty of space even with the wheel moved in the extra 5 or 6 mm. I'm going to run the current setup and might machine the rears if I don't like the look. This would also give you the advantage of running wider width tires, I think.

I asked Lyle about that, and his response is below.
"If one were to "machine" off a mil or two (which a machine shop definitely could perform, you're getting into the thickness of aluminum between wheel lug/thread and mounting surface a bit, which you certainly don't want to take too far. From memory there is 7mm of material between lug bottom and mounting surface."
