I have pics of my WS6 with the 6.5" bs but none of the calipers. You have to take a pretty good bit off though. If I remember right there are 2 kinda "dimples" on the calipers that are D shaped, I think they're on the rear calipers. I had to grind down until those were all gone and then a bit more I think.
Here's what I did..got the grinder out, took a good bit off to start with...then got some spray can primer I think and shot the caliper and let it dry a bit..then put wheel on and gave it a few turns to see where it rubbed...then took wheel off..grind...spray...spin...grind..spray....spin until it cleared without rubbing, then I went back over it all once more for a little good measure for when the brakes got hot.
