I don't know that I ever saw it discussed, but here it is. I overboosted the brightness and contrast on the pictures so that you guys could hopefully see things better. Apologies for the night time pics and lack of additional clearance photos- but we were doing this outside in the snow at 1am on New Year's Day. These are OEM Mazdaspeed 3 front calipers and rotors (my brake conversion on my 5) underneath factory MZ5 wheels. No spacers. It's an extremely tight fit, but it rolled backwards and forwards several car lengths with no scraping. With my NC Miata/MX-5 wheels, it needs a 1/8" spacer to clear. If there's any wheel flex to take into account on the OEM wheels that make them scrape (doubt it, but didn't take it around the block), you could probably take care of it with a 1mm spacer.
I guess it took me getting ready to part the car out to check fitment under these wheels. One day I'll post the step-by-step on the brake install, promise.
