I've put on a few dozen sets of 2.5 spindles and never had to grind anything regardless of the wheels I used.

Every 3 inch spindle I ever installed required either wheels with less backspacing, larger than 15 inches, or grinding of the arms.

That extra 1/2 inch is the culprit. From the mouth of the guys at ECE.."That's why we sell 2.5 spindles and not 3".
