The black rock wheels hit the caliper bracket, not the caliper. There really is no way to grind it down either. That part of the bracket is really thin. 1/4 wheel spacers are required up front. Same as if you were to install the rubicon wheels on our jeeps. I have the black rock wheels

Doesn't that only apply to late 06models and newer.

They changed the caliper arbor?

Not sure? Do Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Moab wheels fit on an 05 WK without .25 inch wheel spacers? If not then these wont fit without them either.

No I had to get spacers on my 05 WK for the rubi wheels to fit. I'd LOVE to get rid of these spacers. I hate them....

I guess you answered your own question. It sucks having to use 1/4 inch spacers on a set of wheels. I was dissapointed but have had no issue running them.

ugh, there has to be an option out there other than AEV's that dont require a spacer...
