Default rear pro stars wont fit on my moser 12 bolt please help. Moser Guys Come In

I have a set of rear pro stars in 15x10 with 7.5 backspacing for f bodys, I had run them on my car before with no issues when i had my 10 bolt rear end i just had to grind the stock calipers like usual with the proper spacer and they fit right up no problems. but now that i have my 12 bolt with the stock calipers that i had previously grinded and i try to put my pro stars on and the wheel goes on but rubs a bit. Do you guys think i just need to grind more of the caliper. what do you moser guys run back there. thanks alot .

if the axle is the same length, then there rear would have nothing to do with it, i would just grind the caliber more, you should grind it till you have to run NO spacer in the rear.

If it only needs a little grinding I would it grind it until it fits.

Keep Grinding. The tolerance of space between rim and brakes were pretty close to begin with.

when i switched from the 10 bolt to the moser i had to re-grind the rear calipers as well.....i never figured out why and just chalked it up to the c-clip eliminators.....not sure it was the reason though.
