Anyone have their front TTIIs rub caliper? Just got my TTIIs on today and they look great. The rears look awesome with the 315s on the back. However, it seems like the fronts are rubbing the brake caliper on the bottom part of the caliper. It doesn't make any noise, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of space there. Don't want to mess these wheels up. Should I get to grinding?

I have TTII's all the way around and I have a the 13" Baer brake kit up front and they never rubbed.
Yeah, those 315's in the back look like steamrollers. Goota love the TTII's.

Sorry to get back so late, but been out of town all weekend. The fronts are 9.5s. Guess I will get a dremel kit. They seems to come in handy here and there. I don't think I want to do the spacer thing. Maybe in the back to push those 315s out some. They look good from the rear.

It's the hub of the wheel that rubs the caliper bracket. Build tolerances I guess.

My fronts rubbed on the hub and inner part of the caliper. Just get you a dremel and grind them down a bit...the brakes, not the wheels. It's no big deal. Enjoy the new setup!
