Default quick ? involving drop spindles

ok i have 2"drop spindles on my sierra, when i did the drop i had 20's, i remember something about having to grind of the bolt at the bottom of the spindle to fit smaller wheels, well i grinded a **** load off to put my stock 16's back on and they still dont clear, will they never fit with the drop spindle?

No, minimum is 17" and even then I had to shave the bolt off.
