Default Weld RTS wheels need grinding

Am I the only onr who needs to grind, very little, off the top of the calipers to get these wheels to fit? Just a little off the top rear, kinda looks like three fingers, just barely touch enough to leave a mark on the wheel. What were the damn odds......

It was definitely close for me, but no grinding needed... guess they're not all exactly alike.

yeah, I saw that ****. Close but no grinding for you. The center one of the three is where mine touch. My damn car enjoys tormenting me by being different, really it does.

It depends on where and when your barkes were produced. I have seen some applications where the right side will clear but the left won't due to the caliper source the mfg purchased the product from. Even a case where the calipers were made at the end of a mold cycle and the tolerances have changed slightly from the original spec. Not very common but once in a while it happens.
