Why did you have to grind the break?

I was going to get those cheap $40 dollar 16" black wheels.
Those 15" wheels did not clear his rear brakes, so he added a spacer and ground down the outside edge of the caliper to make them clear. If you opt for the 16" wheels, you shouldn't have any clearance issues.
