ok guys so I kind of have a dilemma... I switched out my FRONT brakes to a cobra kitabout a year ago got the big 13" rotors, dual piston calipers etc, and when I installed them I noticed that they were alot bigger and wider than my old braks (duh lol...) so I had to get 3/8 spacers for the wheels to fit and bla bla bla, anyways I just got back from americas tire and they told me that they cant work on my car anymore because it is a liability for them to work on my carcuz of the spacers, while I was there they were trying to convince me to get new wheels and they were tryin to sell me stock bullits lol.... so now it got me somewhat thinkin if I should change out my wheels or if I should just stick with the spacers is it really that much of a risk?... what do you guys think? let me know thanks in advance...

 

i wouldnt change the wheels, they look awsome on your car!!
stick with the spacers and find another shop or do ur own work, just look out for the spacers and make sure they are tight

 

 

To make sure the spacers are on your front wheels?

What is the size of your wheels.

 

I've heard of someone using spacers on the front to clear the brakes.
What is the offset of your rim?

 

Yeah the spacers are there to clear the brakes, the fronts I believe are 17x8, maybe 17x9, I dont know the offsetim not really sure because I bought them used,all i know is that I have 245/45/r17 tires on em....

 

i think its because they are 17's. dont remember who but i though somebody said if you upgrade the brakes to cobras or soemthing you would need 18" aftermarket wheels or 17 stockers.

 

Nope, 17" will clear the 13" SVT brakes. I run 17" on the track - theyare the 17" wheels off the '93 Cobra R.
What part were the wheels rubbing on prior to the spacer?
