Will the older steel 16.5" rims clear the caliper? I know that 16" rims do not clear but would that little bit be the answer?
16.5"s on a 3rd gen??

You have to grind, there is no way the wheels will clearance themselves. The back doesn't take much at all, the front needs about .5" taken off. I'll see what I can do about pics this afternoon.

awsome, did you have to grind enough off that the reliablity of the caliper is sacrificed? JW because I really want to run 16.5s.

Sorry, I will get them tomorrow. As for the calipers themselves, I haven't had any problems.

I want to run a 38x14.50" groundhawg, they are actually 37.2x13.50. but the only tire they have that will allow a 17" rim is a 40x17 and that is MUCH larger than I would like to go.
