I got new wheels today and the offset is crazy (11) but i love the way they look so I wanna keep them (i already rolled the fenders to make them fit) but the mounting bracket of the brake calipers grind the wheels really bad and I was wondering what I should do about it. Should i just take a dremel and start grinding down the caliper mounting brackets? Spacers probably work b/c i just got the tire to fit in the wheel well by rolling the fenders and have no more horizontal room. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

grind it down as long it doesnt create any structural problems. i saw in your other pic the they had a phat offset

Ummm... I don't know much on this topic but just guessing, have you looked into wheel spacers to push the wheel out

the wheels barely fit the car with an 11 offset. you just posted in his thread with the pics. guess you just posted instead of looking at the pics. if he runs spacers they will stick out latino style

even if he rolls the fender?, they make different sizes of wheel spacers right?? He won't look like a cholo boy

yea-uh!

take ur time with the grinding if you do so. Like Bucky said, you dont to take too much off where the bracket is now weaker in structure.
