Hello,
After researching my best option for maintaining the factory aesthetic but going for an 8” wide wheel, I ordered 5 custom backspaced 15x8 US Wheel Series 75. I ordered these with 3-3/8” backspacing.
After waiting for a few months the wheels showed up tonight and....they don’t fit. They clear the TRE but they are getting hung up on the brake caliper. Are there any options for slimmer brake calipers? I can’t exactly tell how much material would need to be removed, but I did take a picture of where the wheel is rubbing on the caliper. The wheels did clear the rear brake drum.
Could you all lend me your ten cents? I’m really kicking myself for this, I did not expect the ID of the wheel to have such a lip on it. Thanks!
