Glad you got a solution...you don't have any choice but to add air looks to be a PIA..lol

I had a similar experience when I had purchased 18" wheels for winter use. The shop used stick-on weights and the ones stuck to the inboard edge did rub the caliper. This shop does not drive customer vehicles, you drive your own in and out. On this forum I read about issues with some 18" wheel fitments so when they were done, I drove a lap around the shop and could feel and hear something rubbing so I drove right back in the shop door and they were great about it, changed the style of weights on all 4 wheels so future tire rotations would not be an issue.
There is an outside valve stem also. Two on the wheel.

Had similar issue with my new wheels. They used stick on weights that didn't clear the caliper. I started driving home and I thought the car next to me had a nasty rod knock. Then realized it was coming from my truck.. Turned back around and they fixed it up with some lower profile weights.

I liked the wheel but what got me is them being proper directional. I have extreme ocd and you dont appreciate proper directional wheels until you look for it on a truck that has them and isnt. Two face one way, two face the other. That small extra detail scratches my ocd itch.
I understand that. I like them because they are proper directional.
