Rota grid drifts e30 fitment problem

Just wondering if anyone else has come across this problem with the e30 fitment grid drifts (16x8" et10);

My brother bought a set of these from you a while back and has only just got round to fitting them as he's been away for the summer. The problem is when fitting the wheels to the front they hit the caliper carrier on the actual centre of the wheel on the inside (hard to explain but not the inner rim). Its all e30 325 standard calipers.

Luckly he had already flaired the arches so spacers were needed, but even with a 12mm spacers they still catch the carrier. Cant really space them out anymore so he's ground the caliper carrier slightly and they just fit but its still extreamly close. Surely shouldnt have to do all this, so though id bring it to light and see if anyone else has these wheels fitted to an e30.

Tom.
 
its because the wheel is originally a 4x4 wheel, the hub is massive on them to allow for 6 stud fitments, you get the same problems on mx5's.
