I finally got my big brakes installed.
For those who haven't installed them yet make sure you have a aluminum
die grinder bit as you will need to grind down the sides and / or backs of the area you will be mounting to, so the brackets sit flush.

Question: The Calipers hit the wheel weights on one side.
We had to re-balance the wheels and only use weights on one side.

Will low profile weights clear the Caliper?
Don't want to waste my money if they won't clear?

The slim low profile stick on wheel weights will clear the calipers.

The tire vendor is going to order the low profile weights for me.
He said he'd give them to me at cost since they don't carry them.

You can also grind the first 1" of vent ribs off of the caliper to increase clearance. If you can grind the knuckle you can do the calipers too.
