Default S10 calipers to fit 15s

Bought s10 calipers and reused my disc brackets for the task of putting my new diamond racing 15s on the back of my 01. We'll have grinding all day I've ground so much off the bracket that I can clearly see the slide pins now.
I don't understand how you guys are making this work. I'm about positive the brackets are toast. I had to even cut down the slide pin to get the wheel to fit.
They are 15x10 with a 6.5 backspace. I knew I would have to grind but after all the research i seemed hopeful.
Not so much anymore. I'm sure I mist be doing something wrong
Anyone have any Input? I can't for a second believe the caliper will work at all. Ill include some photos

I'm beginning to wonder if they changed the rim design or something

I run that rim with zero issues. I also have OBS front calipers and Oakley brackets on the back of my truck.


1320 wheels sells brackets for the backs to fit 15's IIRC

I'm about to scrap this whole project and start over. Seemed others had good luck just grinding but good lord that bracket is just not working.
I need those brackets.
Two calipers
Two rotors
And pads? Anything else I'm not aware of?
You had no problems right just bolt on and go?

Yup just get oakleys brackets, pads,rotors,calipers and rock and roll............. the banjo bolt for the calipers should carry over as well. Depending on what type of rear flex lines you have (stainless steel or OE rubber) you may have to bend the mounting pad on the line that mounts to the caliper for a better fit. But straight forward for the most part


Or you could swap to drum brakes and have no issue with fitment either
