I am the one who uses them on here.

They only just barely didnt clear the caliper. Grinding them down takes no time at all, and you dont have to take off a ton. They are just cheap akebono calipers and they certainly are not monoblocks! I feel no guilt grinding on them. Sure I would prefer not to... but I wasnt going to spend 3 times as much on different wheels and risk finding out the hard way that they didnt clear any better.

Since they are off the car right now... see for yourself:
looks good. not sure if i could bring myself to grind the calipers personally lol

wonder how big of a grip difference is between 18" DRs or 19" DRs
