I just bought some 15x10 American Racing Baja rims ( you know the ones that look like the Mickey Thompsons) and some 35's and they seem to be rubbing the inside of the rim. (brake caliper on rim) slightly......but it doesn't seem to go away, and I don't want to totally ruin the rim. Is this expected (I am sure it isn't)? Has anyone been through this?? HELP?!?!?? I have a Dana44 and 6 on 5.5 lug pattern.......

You will probably need to grind some off the top of you calipers...:skull:

thats funny, I have a dana60 with 15x10 rims and they dont rub. :flipoff2:
When I had my gm 10bolt up front and the bearings got REAL bad they would rub the caliper. That was only because they were those aluminum shits that are thicker than all hell. Grind some off the caliper or be brave let the caliper grind some off the rim :smokin: .

Tha caliper has already ground down the rim about 1/16th of an inch just in a couple of miles, but got I some 1/8th inch spacers, so that should do it. If not, the grinder is going to be put to use. Will update post in case it works or doesn't....:cool2:
