Default Torque Thrust II Issues during mounting

Well put the front wheels on today and got them all tightened down and gave them a spin......when i hear a horrible grinding noise. Well i pull the wheel off and check where the rubbing is coming from. Turns out on the TT2's that around the bolt circle where wheel mounts flat up against the hub had just enough "extra flat surface" outside of the bolt circle that it rubed on the inside most part of the brake caliper. To say the least i was pretty pissed after spending 1500 bucks or so on wheels and tires and have this happen. But after a little bit of dremel work on my caliper, problem solved.

I had the same problem on my passenger's side. I had to grind the caliper bracket a little bit.

wow I'm glad I didn't have that problem. I know it's a tight fit though. I was worried when I put them on the car but once I put the lugs on and spun the wheel I saw it was fine
