Well i got a set of greg welds for the front of my cars 15 by 3.5. Tried to put them on today and they are hitting my calipers bad. Has anyone had this happen to them?

What brakes are you running? You're the only person who has ever had a Greg Weld front wheel NOT clear stock F-body brakes.

Mine fit fine also. I had a set of polished ones that fit and now a set of chrome ones and they all fit with no grinding.

Where did you get them from?

Yeah thats strange they dont fit.. mine were also listed as 1.75 BS but it says 1.63 on the box... And i'm guessing the C on the end of the part number is for chrome? Mine is a P and they are polished. Looks to be the same wheels as everyone else has
