I have pics of my WS6 with the 6.5" bs but none of the calipers. You have to take a pretty good bit off though. If I remember right there are 2 kinda "dimples" on the calipers that are D shaped, I think they're on the rear calipers. I had to grind down until those were all gone and then a bit more I think.
Here's what I did..got the grinder out, took a good bit off to start with...then got some spray can primer I think and shot the caliper and let it dry a bit..then put wheel on and gave it a few turns to see where it rubbed...then took wheel off..grind...spray...spin...grind..spray....spin until it cleared without rubbing, then I went back over it all once more for a little good measure for when the brakes got hot.

Yea, just grind enough to clear the wheels and you'll be good. There will still be plenty left but you don't want to take off more than you really need to.
