Where to find diagram of grinding calipers to clear 15x3.5" & 15x8" Draglites...

Need to see exactly what is done before making a purchase commitment on these rims. If it weakens the caliper area, I'm not interested and will just go with the XP's, although that price is quite a big difference from the 15's. Anyways, all help appreciated.

In the front, a 5/16" spacer eliminates any grinding. In the back, you only need to grind the fins off on the corner where they wrap around from the horizontal surface of the caliper to the vertical surface. I can't see where it would affect the integrity of the caliper in any way.
