There is no way. I would already be flush without spacers.

It's that O disk that's killing you. R is for max BBK clearance. O is for maximum lip possible.

Yea. It CAN be done very carefully and with a heat gun and a LOT of patience and experience.

But damn how bad is it? Did you take a picture

Yea thats the low disc, why they don't clear. A disc is normally needed with larger brakes..

If I'm not mistaken, infinus on these forums used to have a starfire pearl ISF which had the same wheels, Work VSXX. Maybe you could PM him
