  • Shaving Calipers to fit Weld Racing wheels.

    Any experienced in this matter? I have a pair of Prostars for some drag radials, but they obviously dont mount up right, they rub the brake calipers... Just a little bit it seems. Anyone know how much they had to shave off the caliper to make the wheels fit?

        they are 16x8's. I will go with shaving down a little bit of them and see what happens.

          I have some 15 X 8's and I wound up having to "shave" off the little rectangular protrusion area in the middle of the caliper (on the outside "edge") to make them fit ...
