Default Will I have to grind my calipers???

Considering a set of warriors or pro stars for my 2002 Trans Am. Will these wheels require grinding on my calipers? Also what backspacing should I go with? Any related info or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Grinding is required with most 15" wheels, I run Convo Pro 15x7.5 with 5" BS and barely had to grind the caliper at all.

Did you have to grind the front, back, or both? Also would it be noticeable when I put my other wheels back on?

go to www.slowls1.com and the pic section for a before and after. Its a royal PITA... grinding them takes about a hour each, but then you have to test fit and end up taking the rim off and on about 20times to get them ground perfect <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I have mine painted again now so its not noticebale

but you have to grind the hell outta the front
