Disc Brake Caliper

I just bought a 1976 f-100 4x4, and I thought the front brakes were bad so I put a new set. Well after I instaled the brakes I noticed that the caliper was rubing on the inside of the rim. I have normal 31-10-50s tires on the truck. Just wonderin if anyone else ran in to this problem.

Never heard of that one before. The closest thing I've ever come to that was when I tried to put (special order)8 lug 15" rims onto a 3/4 ton front axle. The rims wouldn't clear the calipers in the front.

Some aluminum aftermarket wheels interfere slightly with the caliper. If this is the case, you can safely grind a LITTLE BIT off the caliper.
