Wheel Opinion From Anyone

Postby Josh JP » February 5th, 2011, 11:04 am

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.

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