Alright here's my dilemna.
My friend who has some extremely rare Volk truck wheels (I have attached a picture of a wheel), is selling them to me for stupid cheap with tires. We put them on my truck to see how they look and...damn I wet my pants. But since they are 16" wheels, the front wheels were lightly scraping the brake caliper bracket on the inside of the wheel. So a spacer wont do crap. It looks like if we were to grind down 1/8" on the caliper bracket, the wheel will fit just fine. But I just feel that I will somehow be messing with something by doing that, or somehow later it will come back to haunt me because I grinded down the caliper bracket. My friend said that if anything was to happen to my brakes he would replace them. So.....what do you guys and gals think? Should I just grind them down and slap those wheels on, or back out on this deal?
