Even compacted snow would cause a problem in a gap like that

it was me that managed to get them to fit, it took a lot of angle grinder work on the callipers. They have more clearance than my brakes as well!

stones etc... wont cause a problem infact the smaller the gap the better, it means that only tiny stones will get trapped rather than big ones.
