Should I use a thin wheel spacer or grind down the BMW calipers so they don't rub the Fuchs? Everything is already mounted with a washer on each lug so they don't rub, but I want a more permanent solution. I don't need much but wanted some insight before I just grind on the caliper.

You need a flat surface for the wheel to mount to. A washer per lug won't cut it. In fact, i think it's rather dangerous ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) Andy Yes that is why I need to do something. The washer were a temp fix to move the car around the garage. It is not licensed for street use yet. I still need to fix the headlights and the windshield wipers before it can be inspected. The car has been off the road since 1996. |
