Angry Help - calipers rubbing new wheels

I have an '08 Pro-4SX and I am having a Pro Comp Stage 1 lift installed with 20" Pro-Comp 6001 series wheels. I got a call from 4 Wheel Parts (where the work is being done) today and they told me that these massive 20" wheels won't work with my existing calipers. That is hard to believe considering the stockers were 18" and they fit fine. BUt it is what it is I guess. The tech said there is not enough material on the stock calipers to "clearance" them to fit. So I guess I have two choices, pick a different wheel or change calipers. I need a cheap solution here - I am already pretty much tapped out for the wheels, tires, and lift kit + install. Any suggestions / thoughts / ideas?

Re: Help - calipers rubbing new wheels

There's two areas where the caliper will rub on the wheels. The outer diameter which is alleviated by getting a larger diameter wheel.

And the other is the caliper overhang. The Titans caliper extends past the mounting surface of the hub, so if the face of the wheel is flat rather than taper away from the hub, the wheel will rub. All depends on the design of the wheel. If your dead set on those wheels, spacers will work.

I believe most KMC XD wheels will clear the caliper. Take a look at Moto Metal 951's I believe they'll fit.
