Default Spoke to caliper gap on Prodrive brakes

I've got hold of some 7 x 18" Superleggeras to fit on my WRX 04 wagon with Prodrive brakes.
I've done a trial fit on the fronts and found a 2mm clearance between the wheel spokes and caliper bodies.
Is this too tight and will they catch if the wheels flex under stress?

That'll be fine, if the wheel flexes more than 2mm you're in deep poo anyway.......

Exactly. I used to run 7x17 OZ rims over 325mm discs and 4 pot calipers and you could literally only get a *** paper in the gap, and that was with 5mm hub spacers as well. But I never had a single problem with them touching.
