^^^^ Long story short, grinding the caliper won't compromise anything, and proper spacers aren't cheap.

 

I agree.... Spacers are not cheap for good ones and in reality the caliper is so thick there that it wont hurt anything to grind it down a bit. Cheap spacer could do more harm than good. If it isnt centered correctly it could do alot of damage to joints etc.

 

I've seen wheel studs break because of too much stress, the rims didn't centre on the hub, they centered on the studs, if you get spacers you'd be putting alot of stress on those studs.

 

These are different than hub spacers and that have no ill effect on any part of your wheels or joints...i got them from a place in Eagan, MN called wheel city.
