Thanks for all the comments.

MHouston,
After a couple days of spirited driving, I have had no rubbing issues. Nor do I expect to. I assumed the extra width on the front wheels would be equally divided between the inside and outside of the wheel, but it's not. The fronts extend much farther out from the wheel well, so most of the extra width is on the outside of the wheel, if that makes sense.

Max,
Outtie center caps are ones that protrude about an inch from the center of the wheel. They are necessary to cover the hub bolt (?) if the center of the rim is not very deep. My stock rear wheels were thick enough in the middle that covered the hub bolt, so I had center caps that were flush with the wheel. But these new wheels are thinner in the center, so a raised cap is needed.
