Should fit, I just stuck my finger between my wheels 500s, and I have about 1-1/4" gap. Looking at tire calculator, your setup will have about 12mm less clearance than what I got, should still give you a few mm to clear.

What am I missing here?

Like I said, all depends on the suspension. Shock/strut thickness, collar size, spring length/size, wheel sizing all plays into wheel clearance up front when its really close. When i had MR's I had the opposite issue. I had to run 15mm spacers to clear the front on some 17x10 +12. At the height my car was, the wheels were touching the collars, they were right on the rim lip. If I raised the car, and the collars are higher up, I wouldnt need the spacers.
