Grinding Calipers

How much did you guys have to grind off to fit 15in rims on a 14 bolt and dana 44 hd? I would just use my 16s..but i got almost new 33s that fit 15s.

I have new caddy calipers... i just dont want to mess them up.

pics would be great too!

Thanks in advance!

here's my experience.....15X8 rims 3" BS

no grinding necessary on 14FF either with drums or disc conversion. I used regular calipers, not caddy calipers. I assume there is no grinding with them either.

on the front....mild grinding on 10 bolt calipers. Almost no grinding on D60 calipers.

I have a 77 chevy Dana 44 i put 15x10 with 4'' backspace. i ended up having cut the brake shield even with the back of the rotors and very mild grinding on my calipers. Its easy.
