newkid Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 How come your after 17's ? Going to look a touch small. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 So the wheel moves half a turn and then hits something? That sounds very odd to me: It should either not move at all (or at least be grinding on something constantly), or spin freely. What is it catching on?

It will be catching on the Brembo But I'm just confused - If you already have the wheel on and can see it catching etc, just get some tape out and measure how much space you need to clear?

Ekona Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 But how can it be catching only once every half a turn? With five spokes, it should happen every 5th of a turn at the very least, that's what I don't get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends how accurate the "half turn" is. If it's catching on the caliper it'll only turn a fraction before hitting it. I think that's what Ekona was thinking too.

AliveBoy Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 wheel weights and tyre valve maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2orry Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Exactly what I was thinking balance weights hitting caliper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 DING DING Ah yes, that would make sense. If that's the case though, then surely the wheels will never fit? Unless you put the weights on the outside, old-skool...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
370Ad Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Bin them (eBay) and buy wheels that fit properly. Shocking offset for a Z. Even worse than standard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y23DRH Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 Sorry for the late replies It was the brembo calipers catching at the top I Tried 45mm spacers and still catch so i sold them on Thanks for the quick replies every one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
