this is a common problem when switching to racing rims..it usually is only on the front from what i have seen...most ppl just see where the rub spot is and take a grinder to it and grind it down..grind in a lil then put rim back on and redo if nessary until it stops rubbing...only take off what you need and take your time on it

Calipers and their flashing vary, as do wheels and the amount of roundness. I had to work my rears a little for my RTS's. No big deal. Just takes awhile.
Tip, slide a piece of paper in between the hoop and the caliper to identify exactly where it is rubbing, get grinding with a nice carbide drill bit, repaint the caliper.

Where can I get a pic of the fin ya are talking about. I want to get theses wheels andI don't want to grind anymore on my calipers. I had to grind for my weld pro stars and they are sligh rubbing still that's why I never used them..
