Clearance needed between inside of wheel and brake caliper

[nein14-6]

I have recently purchased a parts car that has Wilwood superlights and rather large floating rotors. I tried to fit my 8x15” wheel on this setup and it just barely rubs the inside of the wheel. What do you all think that the clearance should be between the inside of the wheel and the brake caliper?
Thanks,

As long as it doesn't touch anywhere, it's OK. I have gotten away with as little as an eighth of an inch clearance, as long as you avoid putting any tape-on balance weights on the wheel anywhere in the swept area of the caliper where it is close.

The Wilwood calipers have some meat to the castings, you might be able to grind them a bit if you can't use a spacer behind the wheel.

Nein,

I had the same issue with the rear of mine, used a 1/8" spacer to clear it.

I have heard it said once, "if the clearance between those two parts is changing, you have a bigger problem", so if they don't touch, you are fine
