No, neither side. I could probably make them work with spacers, but that's sketchy, I've already complained about it, we'll see how they fix this. There is 15mm extra around the pad of the wheel.

I completely missed that you also changed wheel. what kind of wheel was this? Is offset right for S2000? Brake pad shred you mentioned, so that wasn't the brake pad, i assume..

If the wheels are striking the calipers I'd expect the wheels to NOT spin freely on or off jack stands. I had this happen decades ago with one of my muscle cars. The spare wheel bound up on the front caliper. Since we had drum brakes on the rear way back then a flat front tire required moving one of the rears forward.

The wheels were not tightened down while on stands. I just lightly screwed on the lugs and didn't think anything of it when I lowered the car. These are CCW C10's ordered from UrgeDesigns. I blame CCW 100% for the mix up, not Urge, its just unfortunate. This is AFTER a delay in manufacturing due to them moving their offices (which they didn't tell anyone about), AND them screwing up a front wheel. I ordered these wheels in June.

Sending the wheels back to CCW to have them stripped and re-machined. Thanks for the help guys.
