Has anyone had an issue with magnums scuffiing the wheels lightly on the calipers when you spin them? I am talking lightly is there another brake that should be used or do you mill the caliper face to clear?

 

I had this problem, but it wasnt just scuffing them, it was definately hitting the callipers... At the time i took a grinder to the callipers to shave off some material, but i didnt want to go too far and wasnt able to make them clear, so i got a set of 1/4" wheel addapters and i dont have a problem any more...

Mike...

 

they fit on eg brakes... but if your running integra front callipers, they will rub a bit..

i run 1/4 inch spacers and they work well.. just dont forget to bring the spacers to the track with you!!!

 

I would think spacers would be bad at 150mph+ anyone else on this?

 

I had the same problem...i grinded the back of the bolts the were hitting the caliper and used the smallest spacer I could find... I have ITR brakes up front.

so this isn't a problem on stock EG brakes? I have a set but haven't used them yet.

 

just run eg brakes. they will clear with no issue

 

They rubbed our EG brakes so we just took a grinder to them.

 

thats weird, I didn't have to grind on mine at all for the wheels to clear. And I think this is the guy that ended up with my old race car????

 

so what is it, do I need to grind the calipers or not?

 

well I had 15" wheels and they cleared with no grinding. I believe that 4piston had 13" wheels on his EG

 

well my fronts are 13's, so am I going to have to grind the brakes?

 

Yep that was the difference. I forgot you had bigger wheels.

Just grind them until they fit. Its no big deal its like a 10 minute job.

 

Yep carey I have your old car just picked up some slicks from joe and mounted them on the car the just barely scuff it doesn't affect the turning of the wheel at all it is just minorly touching. Been working on it alot just ordered a rear axle from the guy that built joe's. I look forward to meeting you some weekend at joe's place, It only takes 3 hrs to get there from when I am. I'll start listing pics soon for you.

 

I'd rather just get some spacers, how thick of one should I get?

you dont want spacers on a race car. just grind away, no big deal

no both the 13 and 15" wheels use the same center section.

 

this may be a dumb question, but why don't you want spacers? I used to have spacers on my bogarts

just a personal preference

 

I run spacers on my crx at 150+ MPH. Work fine. Brian
