oh phew

I thought you said ROTORS and I was think WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU.

If you just want to remove some of the extra meat off the caliper then try fitting a 15" wheel and see where it hits and take it from there?

wack the rim on and see where it hits, maybe some grease or something on the rim and thatll leave a dirty spot on the caliper
