No grinding need in the front with a 5/16 spacer.

How much of the back did you have to grind, because i've grinded for an hour now, did you have to grind much on the caliper mounting bracket? How about on the wheel itself?

Best method is to use a marker and trial fit the wheel and only grind where needed.

DO NOT GRIND THE BACK OF THE WHEEL! Grind the caliper only..."Tom the Roofer" has pics of his front calipers that were ground down that he emailed me when I was doing mine, might wanna hit him up, see if he still has the pics. Not that much grinding is required, mainly taking the "squareness" of the caliper and making it "rounded". The tires stick out with a spacer, it looks 100X better without, IMO.
