Won’t bother me too much. Generator runs fine. I’ll probably work in the garage and see about getting tires mounted

Yes. You will have to trim the backing plates.

Working like that will make you an old man quick. But you'll die rich.

Wonder where I can get a good price locally. I don't want to fool with shipping cores.

The part numbers should be good at all Advance Auto places. I just don't know if there are any close to you. They might even be good at Auto Zone or O'Reilly's. Google can tell you for sure.

I remember at my old company we were transitioning to a new terminal operating system that we wrote inhouse. I was in charge of getting all the new hardware deployed and stress testing the software. Working 12+ hour days for weeks with no days off taken. My boss told me to take some time off, wouldnt even charge me PTO for that time off. I told him no, we need to get this done. A little time after that, I realized that I had gotten into a bad groove that scared me... my mentor had literally died of a heart attack during that project. I took a month off after that.

That site I sent you, only charged me 15 bucks for shipping all 4 calipers. From reading their core return policy, it looks like they provide the return shipping as well.
