chain and sprocket clearence

i finally got around to changing out the sprockets and chain on my hawk yesterday, I got a 45 tooth on the rear and settled with a 16 tooth on the front.
I replaced the chain with a DID Xring chain which is slightly wider than the stock one.
I tried a 17 tooth on the front but the chain was into the case pretty hard, more than i would be comfortable grinding out.

has anyone done this and how much can i safely grind out without causing any other issues?
