Akebono Brake Calipers -

I would like to know if any member on here has experience of trimming or shaving their calipers to make a clearance for their rim OR knows how deep the material is in the area marked in the photo. Is there anything vital and how deep is the material there?

*disclaimer: I know this could be easily solved with different rims.



Picture of scrape:

 

The best way is to break apart the caliper. If I recall correctly its thick in that area

 

+1 however, that is actually a very vital portion of the caliper. Definitely make sure you know what's inside (simply by taking that caliper apart, it's vary easy any you won't hurt anything)

In order to fit the 18' Rays

 

Hey bud, I may have to do this tomorrow to make the brakes fit with the same wheels.

Was it necessary to grind that whole face? How much did you take off? Thanks a ton, can't drive it until i resolve this!

 

Thanks dude
