What is the better choice...spacers for the rear or sanding down caliper?
I just installed a set of rims that are fine on the front...they are 20x8.5....and were fine for the test fit on the rear....but once the lugs were tightened, it was rubbing caliper enough so that the rim wouldnt move. My choice is to install spacers on the rear...maybe 5mm, or a tire shop suggested grinding down the calipers a little. Any ideas on which ways to go? I know alot of people here have ran rear spacers with problems?

Hmm...I decided on spacers, not only because they are going on the rear and are only 5mm...but I really wonder if they will void my warranty if they see I was grinding the calipers.
