akhlaq768 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Just put my new wheels onto my Honda Civic Coupe 1.6 lsi 1997. All the wheels went on perfectly. Drove around the corner and noticed a rubbing noise. Pulled over and noticed that my brake calipers where rubbing against the inside of the alloy wheel. My existing wheels are 17 inch and replaced them also with 17 inch. And even the same tyre size 205/40/17. Please see below the grooved out alloy wheels. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/akh.../TooraRub3x.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/akh...68/TooraRub.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/akh...8/TooraRub4.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/akh...8/TooraRub3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/akh...8/TooraRub1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/akh...8/TooraRub2.jpg Just bought some 5mm spacer. Fitted them on.. and the wheels do clear the brake calipers... Which is great. But the problem is that the spacer itself, are touching against the wall of the brake calipers... Are there any smaller spacers? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/akhlaq768/Spacer1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/akhlaq768/Spacer2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pballer2005 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 well i guess since spacers don't really support any weight or anything you could prolly just grind them down where they rub. do you mean the spacer has too large a diameter, cuz if so then just grind them smaller intil they stop rubbing. if you feel up to it use a grinding wheel or take it to any machine shop.

EH6TunerDaniel Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I have some 25 mm spacers I could sell you, Im not sure if they are a smaller diameter. I paid $100 shipped for them. Maybe I can take a pic of one against a rotor and you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
