ok, so i installed my BBK a couple of weeks ago without the pads in the caliper(just cuz i didnt have a C clamp handy) and they fit fine so i though i was ok… today i put them on for real and went to put the wheel on and the caliper hits the inside of the wheel BARELY but enough so the wheel doesnt want to turn so i need some wheel spacers… 1 or 2 mm would do just fine but the lowest i can find anywhere is 5mm which is ok as well i guess but i gotta get them here, which is the problem

anybody know any way i can get them locally from somebody?

Any reason for not grinding down the calipers?

Thats a very good reason not to grind them, and now I have nothing else to contribute.
