In the next two weeks we'll be springing over my bj42 on 60 series diffs. i'm looking into wheels and tyres and was pretty much set on the 15x10 series 97 black steel wheels from procomp. i called em today and was spewing when he said they wont fit the 60s diffs cause they hit the front brake caliper.has anyone had this issue. or got any other options in a 15x10 steel wheel that'll fit. I dont really wont to run spaces. can i hit the caliper with a grinder to stop it hitting? any help is much appreciated.

I tried Procomp rock crawler rims, they JUST touched the calipers as the holes are punched into the rim leaving a small lip.

Just get some with a bit more offset, or run small wheel spaces

I ran 16x8 rockcrawlers and had the same problem as hulsty. Ground about 2mm off the corner of the caliper and good to go

ROH or Mangels should make one that fits. MAte had 15x10 ROH's on his and the GF's dad had 15X10 Mangels (I think there or they were ROH) on his old one

The offset didnt affect the rim centre, the ones I tried were the extreme offset model. I went a different direction to widen my car on 15x8's

I run 15x10 with -44 offset sunnies and they don't hit the caliper
