Yeah unfortunately i think that would mean the rim would still be in the way of the caliper.

Theres probably heaps of 80s out there and other vehicles with the same caliper grind.

I even saw a vehicle at work the other day with both a caliper grind and the alloys had been ground a bit :shock:


Save your pennies for other mods and just drive it as is. Sounds like you already have 35s so use them and spend the money elsewhere ;-)

My thoughts :-)

your 15x8's will be fine with 25mm spacers... thats the easiest option if you still want to run 15's , or just run 16's
