Default How to fit skinny?

How do you get a 15 inch weld draglite skinnie to fit on a 2000 SS camaro? We tried grinding the caliper a bit but it still wouldn't work.. we were also using a spacer.

With a 5/16" spacer my Draglites fit without any grinding. Take a magic marker and "paint" the caliper black, fit the wheel, grind where the wheel hits and scrapes the marker off, re"paint", fit again, and repeat process until no more grinding. You'll see where it hits, I think Tom the Roofer had some pics on his website.

With my prostars i run no spacers just grinded the calipers you actually have to grind quite a bit the first ones kinda scary cause you don't know how much to take off once you get it to where it fits the others side will probably only take 15 min.Less grinding is needed with the spacers though.Throw some paint on the caliper and put the rim on with the spacers if you are running them and spin it you should be able to tell where it is rubbing because the paint will come off.Hope this is some help
