i bought some 17" rims recently, but noticed that the brakepads from the front wheels are protruding like 1mm and hit rim...so i put in 5 washers each wheel and that fixed the problem.
However only the front wheels have this problem but i put 5 washer in each anyway, will this hurt my car? and do i need the washers in the rear wheels even though they dont need it? http://home.exetel.com.au/lubu/wheel --------------------  98% completion --- aaRon |

im with Shocker on this.
The whole wheel should be in contact with the disc not just in 5 places , take the wheels off until you have some wheel spacers. -------------------- |

Washers and wheel bolts are a bad idea
Get a set of spacers. This post has been edited by 6gsillyca: May 13, 2007 - 4:11 PM |
