Any grinding for Prostars 15x10 4.5bs
Any grinding required on calipers with 15x10 w/4.5bs. I have 15x10 w/7.5bs now with spacers. Don't want to use spacers on new rims. Still waiting on my MWC FAB 9, narrowed 3" per side. Wanting to know in advance. Thanks George

I was about to ask why you were going to a small BS, but id imagine yes, its the barrel of the wheel that is the problem with prostars. With my 15x8s and a 4.5 BS, I had to demolish my calipers to get them to fit.

I dont think it matters the backspacing , the part I have X'd is the problem area with factory calipers .
The transition to where its flat to welded is the area where it gets to small and we have to grind . My brake pads are almost gone and I still had to grind the heck out out of my calipers . If they only made the 5star part that gets welded larger they would be flat and not have the transition slope and clear no problem .
Picture is a 15x10 , 7.5 backspacing Weld Prostar .
