wheels dont fit over calipers. can i shave the wheel?
My wheels won't fit over front calipers. I do not want spacers. what kind of shop would take my wheels to have them notch out a couple mm where it hits the caliper? or is there a tool i can rent, and do it myself? thanks

I'm going to agree a 5 mm spacer is way safer.
But its your decision to not use spacer, so instead you should probably shave a little off the caliper. Our front calipers are pretty thick in the front, a few mm off won't do anything.
Shaving the wheel might actually make it weaker, and in addition, shaving the calipers is A LOT easier.

something is not right here..
are you talking about the outer circumference of the wheels or the hub area where the lugs are?
because if they dont clear the calipers even when you shave a few mm they still going to rub.
if you are shaving the outer rim then yes that will weaken the structure of the wheels

i wouldn't be worried about shaving a wheel and making it weaker but you will throw off the balance of the wheels and how true the rim really is. you will def have to go rebalance your wheels.
