Default TT Brakes Redone

I've got the white Lexus caliper decals on the way. It should turn out pretty good.

Default Chromed valve covers

I finally got them back and the quality is off the charts. Lots of pics to follow. (would have more if the CL picture album wasn't broken right now)

Default I almost can't contain my anger...

Pretty frustrating setback this weekend.....

The JIC Magic (LEXUS OEM wheel manufacturer by the way) wheels that I've had for a year don't clear TT brakes in the front. 18" and were specifically advertised on Carson Toyota's site as clearing TT brakes. I have the JForce 07 wheels. Frustrating beyond belief

It's laterally about 1mm/ not vertically.
Options:
1. Grind on caliper
2. Small wheel spacer
3. New wheels (not likely)
4. New brakes (not likely)

I'd do option 2.
