Are you grinding the iron/steel(don't exactly know what kind of metal it is?)parts of the caliper as well?

You can add a small spacer. I wouldn't recommend it but you can add longer studs and you should be fine. I am looking for pics of people who have grinded their calipers. At least this is a TTT for ya dude. Good luck!

Brian it's a lot of grinding and NO I do not run spacers with mine.

Thats a good thing to do on a rainy day, it take a good bit of time.

http://jsears8.cz28.com/prostars/grinding - rear grinding required for a 15x8 wheel with 5.5 BS and a 5/16th spacer.

Put grease on the inner part of the wheel were it rubs. Torque it down, spin it a couple of times, reomve wheel, note where the grease is left behind on the caliper. Grind there, repeate until no more grease is being left and then a little more. A BIG *** stone grinder makes the job sooooo easy. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Good luck BOS,

I grinded the crap out of mine and still used a 5/16" spacer. It took alot more grinding than my 15x8s did.

Jason, that is not what I wanted to hear! I wonder what's the diff in the 8 and 10s? I thought it would be the same mounting area with just 2 more inches of BS??

Damn!
