Tackle it! Aftermarket brake caliper scratched rims

Hey folks, hope everyone's safe.

I don't know if this topic has been opened yet, but I wanted to share a recent experience I had with my Civic's wheel spacers.

I installed a new set of Brembo calipers and HRE rims, but they are scratching the rims because they are too big. I already had them installed and didn't want to spend money on another set of calipers and wheels.

So I searched on Google for a solution and finally decided to install a set of spacers. The effect is very nice. Not only did it solve the scratching problem, but my wheels were flush with the fenders. The whole car looks fuller and is very stable while driving.

Now I'm cruising with peace of mind.
If anyone else has similar spacer issues or wants to prevent wheel hub scratches, I highly recommend considering spacers as a viable solution.

Keep rolling, everyone!

Spacers can be a real lifesaver when you're dealing with fitment issues. Glad to hear that spacers solved the scratching problem and gave your Civic that flush look. Thanks for sharing the tip, @William Jones98!

Just make sure you check that the nuts are still torqued regularly.
