Wheel Opinion From Anyone

My rig came stock with 18's and i bought some 15's with offroad tires. I went to put them on and the wheel is barley rubbing the brake. I was thinking about grinding down the place where they are rubbing alittle bit to make the wheels work. I spent money on the wheels and tires already and it should be enough to make it work good. what do you think??

You should be able to grind down some of the caliper to make these wheels work.

Dude from experiance a hand file is the best tool for that job that sucks looks like new calipers and re try. Dont use jb weld either already tried it. lasted bout 2 seconds to much presure.

Yep, big brakes and 15" wheels don't get along well. Sucks that you ruined your caliber grinding.
