Save yourself the trouble of grinding
Save yourself the trouble of grinding Tom,
You're supposed to say, "you shouldn't need to grind calipers with Bogart wheels as I have". J/K.
BTLFED, pick up a set of used calipers so that you have a spare if necessary. They do and have cracked from guys taking to much material off.

WOW, I had to grind a little bit off the stockers for the Bogarts but NOTHING like that.
I was able to get it done with a hand file if that says anything.

Steve will tell you that I fought him for years on the fact that I thought Bogarts were overpriced and the budget Weld wheels were just as good......
Well, I just had a caliper blow out on me (I am almost 100% sure it was do to grinding). I had them ground for prolly three years or so, so that I might have had something to do with it. The caliper blew out, caused me to not be able to stop at a stop sign, nor was I slow enough to make a turn. My car jumped up in the median, hit a tree, then spun around and landed the opposite direction. It is totaled!
My advice is go with a wheel that needs very little or no grinding at all. I wish I would have!
