urgent help needed. grid offroads contacting caliper

[ivtec_do_u]

Hey guys my plus 20 grids are coontacting my calipers. They clear with a 7mm spacer but im not trying to push them out more. It is the outer diameter of the hub flange of the wheel. Anybody ever have those issues or any insight offered. Please help me out I got a road trip next week!

I'm a little confused here.. can you clarify exactly what wheels they are size and offset? Cause it sounds like you have the suv/offraod ones lol

[ep3jd]

Nooooooo rob I got this lol


Same thing happened to me with my 16x8 +10 grids

Your choice, grind down the caliper bracket, or run the spacer.


I shaved the caliper bracket and had no issues, just lots of metal shavings stuck in my palms. LOL


I should have taken photos. My bad ephatch. Just shave, test fit, shave, test fit.


Good luck!

Or run wheels that actually fit your car. :shrug:

Yikes! Keep us updated.

They fit fine haha the backing plate is really wide on them. Theres no harm in shaving the caliper bracket. I had no issues for a whole season on those wheels, and mine were +10

[27rocks]

lol +10 don't "fit" son.

But OP what is the size and offset of your wheels?

Omggggg you're such a h8r :tehe::rofl:


They only come in 16x8 +10 or +20

He said they're +20!!!!!



And that means they stick out 2 mm, less then your wheels!!! Pwnt!!!!!

He also said "off road" which confused the heck out of me.

They might be 2mm more then mine but he needs 7mm spacers to clear lol.

[ep3jd]

Yes 2 mm more that's what I meant lol he can just shave the bracket like me!!!!

How much shaving did you have to do on the bracket? Not looking to completely ghetto out my ride.

are you implying that ep3jd is ghetto??:meek:

[ep3jd]

Don't know, few mm, just went until it cleared. No one will notice it and its 100% safe. You should have done your homework. Your choices now are to shave it and be "ghetto" or run a spacer. Or sell them.


Good luck

[ivtec_do_u]

Haha no, no implication that his ride is ghetto. I love the look saw he had low offset grids along with some others and knew they could be made to work. An oversized hub flange was not what I expected but as long as I don't have to take too much meat off the caliper it seems like my only option right now so me and the angle grinder will get to it. Thanks guys!

[ep3jd]

You can always take off, but you can't add more. Shave, test fit, shave, test fit. Take your time and you'll be good

[jed_averill]

So +20s will grind right off the bat? Hmm Didn't know that.

[ep3jd]

Don't be a wimp lol its not a big deallllllll

[jed_averill]

I'd rather rock those spacers =]

Aren't you running +10s?

[ep3jd]

Aren't you running +10s?

I did, now I'm 5 lug with 17x9 +25
