16 inch wheels that fit over rear brakes?

[Darnell@hypertech]

Hey I was wondering if any of you guys knew of a set of 16in wheels that would fit over the rear brakes of a 08 Power Stroke. I've got a pair of slicks I'd like to run, but need to find some wheels.

Anyway, thanks in advance...

i have been told by various tire places that it isnt possible. i thnk your best bet is going to be to grind the calipers down, if possible to grind enough

That is terrible advice! Buy bigger slicks.

gee, we grind them down on dana 60's to fit 15's on our trail rigs, we grind them down lightnings to fit 15's for slicks... thebrakes have massive amounts of extra meat on them, it wont hurt.

That's all fine and dandy, but as the original poster already said most shops said fitting 15's isn't possible. No shop in their right minds would take the liability in doing what you are suggesting.

he said 16's, and who the hell takes a rig in and has a shop grind calipers. you buy a set of 16" wheels in the width and offset you want and have the slicks mounted. than, you grind the calipers your selves.
