Fitting 15 inch rims

Post by Jonezy01 »

Mate has a 94 model 80 series as it came factory with 16's he now wants 15's as he pick up a set of 35inch wrangler MTR but they fowl on the calipers and we were wondering if it safe enough to grind the calipers and if so how much can we take off as it only needs about 1 to 1.5 mm taken

hey i ground mine, probly shouldnt of but only had to take a small amount off in the end. But since have noticed with my new rims which have custom offset that they crear by a long way. So maybe wheel spacers will allow them to clear abit more. i mite be wrong as i have not tried it.
