15mm spacer doesn't work!!!
 

Hi everyone
I bought a set of ADR M-sport 19 inch last week and the seller told me that a pair of 15mm spacer in front would clear Brembo caliper.

So today I installed longer bolts and spacer in front, put rotors and calipers back on, and bam... the wheel touchs the caliper. (just enought to suff the paint) And while I was checking for the clearence, I scuffed my brembo caliper with the wheel spoke. :mad:

So what are my options here? Should I slap on even bigger spacers (20mm)?
or should I dismount the tires and return the dam wheels..
If it's ok to use 20mm spacer... I'd like to keep the wheel.. cause it will be pain in the rear to dismount tires and ship them back..

How much clearence should I have between wheel and caliper? does a wheel flex a little during hard cornering?
And are there any matching color paint for my "precious" brembo?
it's a lot of questions but every answer will be appreciated.

Thanks,

if your going to run both stock and aftermarket wheels, get
the KIC's spacers.

i use them, very good stuff.

No, I'm not running both stock and aftermarket wheels on the same car. What I was saying was that front requires spacers and rear doesn't.

i'd got with larger spacers and give at least a 5mm clearance
between the back of the spokes and calipers.

i read someone used honda touchup paint for this gold/orange metallic
color for civics.
