you're trying to stay away from rotas by buying a stock honda wheel which is almost as played out as a rota which is 14" at that?


you're a fucking idiot.

why do you fucking care? he can put whatever wheel he wants on his car. He was asking for clearance help not everybody's fucking comments. Sounds to me like your the fucking idiot.

To answer your question. I wouldn't grind on the calipers. A small spacer is exactly what your looking for.

Thanks. I just purchased a pair that is like 1/8" thick, so i'm sure they will work perfect.

thanks man for the info! Yea, not sure why he cared, it's not his car anyways, but oh well. I think I'm going to try out the spacers for now and see how it goes.

Buy some wheel spacers from pep boys or something. They're just like washers...

I never trusted them though.

I don't see what the problem with a small spacer is? If it was something huge to make the wheel poke I'd understand. But just a small, couple millimeter spacer is fine.

I went to both pepboys in va beach and they are all sold out. They were only like 8 bucks a piece, but they have a hard time keeping them in stock. I guess everyone has the same ideas! Who knows though. Might have to go over there and get some if the ones I just got don't fit, but it said they will so we will see.

yea, that's all it needs to clear the brakes so they won't rub. Not sure if it will pass inspection like that though, but I guess we will see.
