a 5/16" spracer should do it. but then the rim is sticking out pretty far. must grind the calipers to get them on there with no spacer. are you using a draglite or a prostar?

A little grinding and a thin 1/4" spacer will work.

I used a little grinding and an 1/8" IROC spacer at first. But then I went ahead and finished the grinding a few days later.
