Has anyone here done it? I'm wondering how much clearance I need between the rim and caliper. 1/8 inch, 1/4 inch ?? Does a steel rim flex at all during driving and rock crawling? I don't want the rim to hit the caliper. Thanks.

More only experience is with a 3/4 ton D44. I had to grind about 3/16 on the leading and following ends of the caliper to clear steel 15x10's.Mark Langford

Mine actually is a 3/4 ton HD D44. I read my title and noticed that I typed D60. Oops! I have the big dual piston calipers and as I was grinding last night I noticed that the "T" clip that holds the caliper in place is getting mighty thin. Is this ok? I don't suppose that you have any pictures of where and how much you had to grind do you?Last edited by crawlin68; 03-08-2005, 01:41 PM.Comment

Grinding really depends on what Back spacing you have on you wheels.
but just grind and check with the wheel, You do not need more then a hair between the wheel and caliper. just enough so it does not rubMark Harris
