Arrow Maximum inner clearance FD

Hello people,

Car: FD
Wheels: 18x13 +20
Suspension: Tein monoflex coilovers, all oem arms/rods

Hopefully one of you will be able to give me the answer I'm looking for!
So I'm currently running 18x12 +7 in the back but for a specific reason I would like to go 18x13. Now extending the outer barrel of the wheel is IMPOSSIBLE as the fit is perfect as is. That leaves me with the only option of adding that inch to the inner barrel of my work vs-xx. According to simple maths, the new re-barreled wheels would be 18x13 +20.

As you already know this setup is pushing it to the limit all around. Problem is I don't know if inner clearance will be enough to fit these wide suckers. I've been reading a bit on the subject and I couldn't find any definitive answer, hence the reason I'm starting my own thread. The only good info I found is about the toe arm that could be in the way. Now If this is the case, do I have any option to get additional mms of clearance. For example aftermarket toe arms/rods like R-magic ones?

thank you

i know that 18x12 et20 fits my car fine, first time i looked at just the wheel bolted up with no tyre i think there was probably about 15mm of space on the inside so assuming your wheel is wider than your tyre then i think you might miss the arm by a couple of mms
