grinding rsx rims..

[phouriuh]

Well first of all I'm at stock height with stock suspension (V6 Sedan). I got rid of my stock 15's and put 04 rsx base rims on my car with 205/55/16 tires offset and bolt pattern is the same. The outside of my calipers is grinding on the spokes of the rim. It's barely noticable except when I drive and slow to a stop. I dont want to run spacers. So my question is... is it safe to let the rims grind 1/8" of an inch off? Thank you in advance for your feedback.

slap on some 5mm spacers and you're all good most likely. 5mm does not require extended studs. Why risk the structural integrity of your wheels when something as easy as a bolt on can fix your problem.

what about grinding the front calipers?

I had this same problem but the rims grinded down after 2 days and everything was fine. It cuts away a very very small amount of the rim. Very unnoticeable.

Very odd... mine have never touched my calipers

Mines are MM away from the caliper..Not RSX rims tho..

Had the same problem. Took the wheels back to the guy. If ur going to keep them I would use spacers and-or take off the wheels and grind the excess metal off the calipers. Dunno, just my 2cnts.
