Default Searched: Trouble with HX wheels.

I'm sure someone posted up about it but I've been searching for an hour... unfortunately HX is too short to search for specifically.

Front wheels wont move. I guessed a 5mm-8mm spacer on both front's would do the trick? Am I wrong?

Sorry if this annoyed someone.

Yes they need spacers or to shave the caliper in order for them to clear certain brakes.

Assuming you have an EX/Si? The HX wheels will not clear. You'll need washers on the wheel studs in order to clear the calipers.

You have to be kidding me. All I needed was washers and then I sent off for some wheel spacers?

=\ Damnit.

You can get wheel spacers, or just use standard 1/8" spacers.
