Weld Draglites and LS1 front brakes

I saw the sticky that these are supposed to fit with a 5/16" spacer but mine don't. I have the 15x4's that fit when I had my LT1 brakes (needed some grinding to fit), but with the LS1 brakes, not even close.

Anyone else encounter this problem and were you able to grind the caliper down to fit?

The wheel used in the LS1 brake setup in the FAQ is 15x3.5". That may explain the difference. The entire 1/2" extra width is added at the back of the 4" wheel, increasing the chance of it hitting something.
