sorry bout the mud

grind the calipers about 1/16" or so (takes ALOT of trial fit and removal) or get rims with the proper offset to clear the edge of the caliper...guess i need to go measure it...

grind the calipers. the less backspacing the easier it is. 2.5" requires no grinding, 4.25" requires alot. ive personally run 15x10's with 3" BS and i had to grind a little bit, but nothing too serious.

2.5 is easy and i think best.

3.0ish is good trade off for amount of grinding.

4.25 i would never grind that much off the brake parts and plan on running the street.

i got 3.5 backspacing on my 15s. i made sure to leave one rim without a tire cause your going to be putting that rim on and off that caliper like 50 times while grinding and its alot easier without a tire

Oh so I did need the calipers, they're freaking huge

This seems easy enough

Thanks guys

I think I'll try 3.5 BS, I don't want the tires out too far, But I'll take some measurements and try to go with the least amount necessary

Take a look at a 3/4 ton caliper sometime. A D60 caliper ground for 4.25" BS wheels is WAY beefier.
