whats wheels do u have?
i just fitted a set of 4pots on my 98 uk wagon and they cleared the 16" wheels no problem. i have seen on here that some pre 98 wheels dont fit without spacers.

before fitting i looked at the spare room and i think it was about 35-40mm gap but thats going by eye.

Find someone who has 4 pots and ask if you can try and fit onw of your alloys onto their car?
I'm sure you must have a local meet somewhere near you.
