I mounted my rear wheels (FR500: 17"x10.5") for the first time with the Wilwood rear calipers installed, and the wheels will not seat fully and can not be torqued down. The inside of the wheel rim (where the balancing weights are installed) is contacting the body of the caliper, towards the parking brake end of it. Looks like I need an 1/8" more clearance.
Is there a "thinner" Wilwood caliper, maybe WITHOUT the parking brake assembly? (I'm building a Challenge Car without the E-brake anyway) I didn't want to change wheels as I want the 10.5" depth. Fronts fit perfect.
I have double checked my caliper bracket shims and they are what's needed to center the pad on the rotor.
Help?
