Late Front Discs with red9 wide 5 adaptors

[5erge]

This is an issue I spotted a while back but left it on my to do list.

Basically with this combination my wheels bolts are hitting the caliper, little bit unsure what to do. Don't really want to grind back the wheel bolts nor do I want to grind any clearance out in the caliper

It's stupid (but clearly important) ***** like this that delays me.

Would using studs be an option?

Anyone...

are the bolts screwing through the adaptor and hitting the caliper? if so why dont you want to shorten the bolts?

Shorten the bolts - job done!

If I cut back the wheel bolts I'd have to do in in such a way that there would be no thread exposed the other side once screwed in (hope that makes sense) my worry is from a safety aspect.

If I have to cut then so be it, you can understand my concern though...

any thread sticking throu isn`t doing anything , as long as they are flush with the back of the adaptor you will be fine , although i`m not a lover of adaptors ,just periodically check the bolts are tight

as above, just cut them and check them regurlaly.
