Caliper to wheel allowable clearance?

Caliper to wheel allowable clearance?
Could someone tell me what the minimum clearance between the caliper & the wheel is? ('06 hhr LT1) I got a good deal and would like to use these 15" steel rims from an '05 malibu for my snow tires (gotta save the aluminums - great white [salty] north, eh!), but I've only got about 9 - 10mm (~3/8") between caliper & rim with the 15's on instead of the 30mm (~1-1/4") with my stock 16's. There doesn't seem to be any interference but I wonder if there would be problems when things heat up, such as under heavy braking. Insight, anyone?

My first question is are they the correct bolt pattern. I have asked a lot ob people and they all said that they were not. Let us know the dim. of the bolt pattern on the 05 malibu.
See ya down the road

The 04 - 06 malibu 15" wheel is the same specs except diameter (5-110mm bolt spacing, +42mm offset, 65.1mm hub, 6.5" rim width) I test-fitted a rim on the front and there doesn't seem to be any interference with the tie rod ends lock to lock, but like I said there is only 9 - 10mm clearance between the caliper and the inner surface of the rim. They do fit, but my concern is the lack of space between the caliper and the wheel. I know some racing applications have very minimal caliper to wheel spacing, but I don't know if that is permissible for the street.

The other day I rotated my tires and used the spare to make things easier. The fit was tight, but GM must feel it's OK.
Good luck.
