Caliper clearance issue with Work Equip wheels
Hi
I just bought some wheels that I have a clearance issue with the front calipers. the wheels are Work equip 16X7 with 40mm offset, same as oem.
There is a raised square on the outside of the caliper. It is about 1/2" square & 1/4" high. The spokes of the new wheels touch it. If I grind this raised square down about 3/16" the wheel would clear the caliper. Does anyone know if this is ok to do or is it hollow or provide some function?
Thanks

Thanks for the replies.
I was thinking about spacers & found some 7/32" ones at Summit but was wondering if I would get enough turns on the OEM studs. I would have about 1/4". Do you think that's enough?
