I didn't take the time to set up a jig or anything, but I actually created a rough mold of the negative space by making some putty in the kitchen and then jamming it between the wheel and arm. I found I had 21-23mm of space depending on whether I measured at the edge of the wheel lip or at the edge of the tire. The space for the tire gets easier as you go up.

So I went ahead and ordered Forgestars with a +22 offset, which will put me 0.65mm inset of my current setup on the outer edge, and 13.35mm inset on the inner edge. That's the wheel of course, and the 315 tire will be a bit puffier so I'm hoping it doesn't take up more than 7mm of the space inside. I can use a 2.5 or 5mm spacer from Z1 to fix that right up if it does, and I'll use a 5 or 10mm spacer in the rear anyway. Will obviously update everyone with they arrive in hopefully 2mo or less...

TL;DR: YOLO hope these things fit
