Wife's '91 744 turbo needed snow tires. Being the good husband that I am, I went out and got a set of Virgos (240 15" turbo alloy rims) and a brand new set of Toyo Observe G2's. Go to put them on today and they're hitting on the brake calipers. I knew there would be an issue if the car had ABS but this car does not. So who has put Virgos on their 740? Is there any way to make this work? Maybe a little creative angle grinder action on the calipers? Or do I need to go out and buy another (!) set of rims?

Thanks,
Bob
