S break cal & Holey 15 wheel ?
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.
