With standard brakes they will be fine on either a 2wd or 4wd.

If the calipers are non-standard and its a 4x4 they will catch unless either Hi-spec slimline calipers or I think comp-brake do a slimline one as well. All other non-standard calipers catch I believe.

as above; i run escos rims on my saff and i thought the same; hardly see sunlight between the calipers and the rim but it will be fine as long as the calipers are standard

just make sure you have the right tyres on the rims otherwise they may catch the arch

Should be fine as long as you got no play in the wheel bearing !
