    Front caliper hitting rim

    Have the am 95 spindle with FFR calipers but looks to hitting the inside of the rim, rims are from North racecars

    Picture? As a quick test stack maybe 1/4 inch of washers on three of the studs and mount the wheel. If it clears now, than order a 1/4 inch wheel spacer.
    FFR MkII, 408W, Tremec TKO 500, 2015 IRS, DA QA1s, Forte front bar, APE hardtop.

    Exactly what year spindles and which calipers? The 2 piston PBR calipers that FFR includes with the complete kit will not fit onto '98 and earlier spindles correctly without doing some minor modifications and clearancing to the mounts. If this mismatch is preventing the calipers from seating into the proper position perhaps this is what is creating the interference issue.

    These are sn 95 spindles that I was told would work with the calipers, what kind of modification is needed ? The calipers fit perfectly onto the spindles. I did try putting some washers in between the rim and rotor and it turns now
