What kind of tyre clearance have you on yours ?
2016 model 52cm . The model with 27.2 seatpost . Tried Michelin pro 4 endurance on mavic Ksyriums . Rear was too tight and barely cleared it . Quite disappointed. Front fine.
Ultegra calipers

Are 2017 /18 models any better ?

    Ist gen SS Evo's were a bit tight at the back with 25s, 2nd gen ones are OK with 25s. It depends which gen frame you have, what width rims you have and what size tyres. IIRC a 2016 bike could be either 1st or 2nd gen depending on model - the higher spec ones with some Kamm tail shaping of the main tubes are OK, the lower spec ones with round main tubes are the older frame. With a 27.2 seatpost I think that's the older frame - which I have. I can run 25s on the rear with Pacenti rims - i.e. 18mm internal diameter.
    FFS! Harden up and grow a pair :D

    I have a 2016 Supersix with Prime carbon 38s and I'm running GP4000s in a 25. No issues here, don't think I'd like anything wider on the back, but I haven't measured it

    I have a 2013 (50) & 2017 (52).
    2013 max clearance is 23mm.
    2017 max is 28mm depending on brake calipers. Ultegra has plenty of clearance. SRAM Red only fits 25mm.

    Interesting , What size is the seatpost ? As the other poster said they changed them 2016 . Newer ones has the 25seatpost
