Yea, try the right lug nuts. The most you should have to do is lightly touch up the caliper with a grinder.

Mine fit perfectly with no grinding. You have to run the correct lug nuts. Not only does it look stupid, it's a major safety issue.

I got mine from Jegs. Also, make sure you get the washers with the lugnuts.

They're the shank style lugnuts. I know the part #'s have been posted on here but I can't remember them.

Mine fit perfectly, you MUST use Pro Mag lug nuts with washers. That is definately not safe to use an acorn nut, its not made for it.... Most Likely the cause of your rubbing, the wheel is off center.

Yes, use the lugs that Jegs recommends.

There was that huge thread in here a while ago where JNorris and PSJ contacted centerline to make wheels that fit. They ended up with the 15 x 9 / 6.5 bs wheel. They said it required some grinding, but not much.

Here's some pics of them on a white Camaro:
