altering brembo calipers?

[bugsoup]

At this point, the caliper and rotor fit, but they are touching around the perimeter of the caliper. Also, the rotor is all the way into the caliper (they are also touching). What should the clearance between the rotor edge and caliper be?

I definately understand the problems with clearancing the wheel. That I will not try. As for the calipers, it seems they would not be dangerously weakened by minor machining. They are shaped as if they were made to fit one particular wheel design. I think they are beefy in the right areas to allow for clearancing.

I'm still trying to get a picture of the setup.
