Message	Anyone ever grind the tops/ edges of the calipers to create clearance for wheels? It sounds like a bad idea, but I want to know if anyone has done it successfully. As they sit, my XXR 962's (before anyone tells me how they're "cheap", understand they were free to me and wider than my previous wheels which were also cheap) dont come close to fitting. The brakes are hitting on the barrels before they come close to the actual face. It looks like I might need rediculous spacers to make them fit until I can afford a different set of wheels. I'm curious to know if cobra wheels will clear(yes I would prefer Volks, but I'm in the military... so broke lol). Any help/ advice is greatly appreciated.
