Cut the **** out of it all the way around the whole thing. Wheels dipped so that's an easy fix but the caliper I'm . At least you can't see it. I'm just worried about salt in winter time eating the powder coat off entering through the cut.
That's the issue I foresaw with my RPF1's (Thanks Mike) and my AP BBK. They were not touching but a piece of pine straw would catch when I was free spinning the wheels. That's how close mine was. So I'm running a 5mm spacer. It was that or grind down the caliper a little. It puts the wheels out there but I'm ok with it. Hopefully one day I'll run wider fenders.
