So I bought a set of RPF1's a few months ago which I wasn't planning to mount until spring. I came across a thread that said RPF1s don't fit over sport brakes....which I happen to have. So I go to the garage and check - they don't fit ![vash](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/vash.gif)
Can I grind a bit off the caliper and be ok? It seems they rub, but feels like 2-3mm more clearance would do the trick. So the real question is, how much caliper clearance do I need at minimum? Do wheels deflect in anyway that I should be concerned about? Or can I take off the bare minimum to let it spin freely?
