Here's what I did:

Grind some off the caliper, as little as possible fit the wheel on. Put a light coat of paint on one caliper at a time. Install the wheel and let it rub. Grind down the spots that take off the paint. Repeat as many times as needed. When you are done, mark the wheels driver and passenger so you don't get them mixed up.

Did it tonight. What a pain in the azz. The inside of the wheel was rusty so that made things a little easier(rust would show up where the wheel hit). All in all it wasn't that bad just time consuming and sucked taking the wheel off then on off then on. Blah Blah Blah. Track 2morrow I hope to enjoy my new found traction! -Mat-
