Any interference with the calipers on the 5" backspace wheels? I'm thinking of going with the 16x8 Cragars also but am concerned about the caliper issue on Rubi's.

As far as I know, the center section is the same regardless of the backspacing. Its just welded into a different place.

But, with that said. Mine are EXTREMELY close to rubbing the non-rubi calipers. I actually ground down a bit of the stamping on the back side for extra clearance. Which isnt a big deal, takes about 5 minutes per wheel. And zero balancing issues.
