Just taken off my td 1.2 wheels and fitted my oz superlegeras 17" with 26mm spacers, left hand wheel fits fine over the caliber, bit tight I'll admit but so where the 1.2's... But on the right side it rubs on the caliper. Anyone had this problem or anyone know how to sort it? It's annoying because they look awesome on the car!  ________________________________________ 306 1.8 xs moonstone blue-SOLD306 gti6 supercharged china blue-SOLD 406 coupe D9 3.0 V6-SOLD |

I'm not about until later. Got some s**t to do. I'll have a butchers later though. Just wondering if they are the correct way round as I remember you saying they had 2 different sized spacers. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

My bro had this problem. Just used an angle grinder to take a few mil off the caliper. Make sure you use safety goggles though as that s**t is lethal if it gets in your eyes. Should be fine to shave a bit off our calipers ________________________________________ ''Oh, it does handle like a golf!'' Why drive a Golf....when you can drive a GTi-6? |

I agree. Check the spacers, if thats not the problem, id say buy wider spacers if you have the arch clearence. Failing that, grinder.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Grinding parts off brake calipers is bad practise.  You should either buy calipers that will give the correct clearance required or wheels that do.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Not sure if they are oz spacers mate didn't buy the wheels from new, all I know is that 2 of 4 wheels clear the calipers, tight fit but that doesn't matter  ________________________________________ 306 1.8 xs moonstone blue-SOLD306 gti6 supercharged china blue-SOLD 406 coupe D9 3.0 V6-SOLD |

I started off with 26mm spacers on my OZ Hydras 17"...However, I turned them down on a lathe to 24mm to get the correct fitment and got all 4 arches rolled at the same time. Now, doesn't matter how hard you corner they don't rub the arches at all and there is loads of clearance for the brakes still too . I guess you have different spacers for the front than you do for the rear then, and that's why it's important you make sure you get the correct ones in the correct location. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
