Hey, i bought 10" rims a while back, on my lux with the diesel callipers (bigger ones) the callipers have 3 fins on the outside, you will notice the rim only hits one of the fins, so all i had done to overcome this is grind a small amount off the fin so it clears the rim.

The older model callipers will fit without any modding, but are a less effective calliper and would not stop my truck.

This had no effect to the calliper at all and i have been running like this for 3 years....

Hope it helps.
