    If you can't find new calipers go back to OEM. I don't know of any shops in your area either. If you put on bigger wheels will they clear your calipers?

    Don't know if bigger wheels will work but I would like to keep 18s on the car. Any bigger and I don't think I'd like the ride quality, besides I already got tires for 18s

    too bad you can't shave your calipers, i shaved my fronts to fit my rear wheels on the front. Well if you can't find wheels that fit go back to OEM until you can find some rims that fit. You must have some big calipers if 18s can't fit....
