Grind them. The aftermarket ones rub worse.

Hey Scotty

I zip-tied my e-brake to the toe links. Works fine that way. Will probably eventually change to a hose clamp for more security

Are they 17"... I want to try the stock 17" GTO wheels... if they fit over the brake's I am going to cut and box the lower control arm.
