I bought some hx wheels, and when i tried to put them on my EG hatch they rubbed on the Brake Callipers what should I do.

Someone suggested putting a washer on each wheel stud, to clear the brakes, but that doesnt sound right.

Please help in any way possible, BTW I did search, and found nothing i could use.

 

Bump to get this started so i can put these wheels on my car

 

i put 4 thick washers on my hx wheels when i had them on my teg. I don't recommend this but it will work but is unsafe. I got rid of the hx wheels when a good offer came around. i'll take those hx wheels off your hands and i live in s.ca and need it for my ek.

 

hummm??? i thought the hx's were +45 and 14". which should work on integra gsr calipers?

 

Ithought they would fit too, but i was wrong. Dont really want to use washers, too unsafe, and my wheel studs are too srort i think.

 

5mm spacers do the job...

 

Thanks, Anyone else?

 

grind down the caliper less than 1/2" search for a post made by rainmanek


or


buy 5mm spacers as mentioned

 

i think you have to grind down the calipers, so an HX rim can fit over the integra brake setup.

!!HOW-TO!! HX wheels on GSR or SI Front Brakes!

or buy spacers.

Not true. He could put his stock brakes back on.

Yeah, you need to stop looking for an answer that isn't there buddy. Spacers or grind those calipers.

 

 

I would not try spacers. Usually spacers put more stress on wheel bearings.

Didnt think of that, Thanks

 

hey jackass wasnt i the one that said grind it in the first place?!?!?! lol never listen to me though, and you know i have a grinder so hit me up like tomrow and ill cruise over!

 

spacers. Only way. Grinding caliper= not good. Washers= STOOPID.

The spokes hit the caliper, thats all.

 

Well, i went with a little grindond on the cage of the callipers, not too much tho. Just a little did the trick.

Thanks to all who helped
