Default GM wheel rims

Newbie here with his first post. I purchased some 1997 Chev(Blazer) rims with winter tires already mounted. However when the rims are installed on my 2002 Sierra 4X4 the rims bind on the mounting bolts of the brake calipers (all four rims). Can I just grind off the ends of the offending bolts or will there be other issues?

I believe you can get a spacer to stand the rims off and they shouldn't touch the bolt heads. I would try this before grinding on the bolts. Good luck.

Thanks Jim! It's not the heads but the threaded end. Would a dealer have the spacers or an aftermarket dealer?

Dont think a dealer will carry them. IF you have a Truck Accessory store in your area they usually carry them. If not then you will have to order them on a website.
