Rims are rubbing on my brake shoes 2001 Ls 430 . Do I need to look for any special numbers when buying Rims ?


Thanks Ghost

 

Is it the shoe or the caliper?

 

TAKE THEM OFF NOW!!!!!!!

You could damage your braking system, by allowing your wheels to hit the brake caliper. You have to buy wheels with enough brake clearance for your car. There are not alot off wheels that offer the brake clearance you need. Please feel free to contact me and I will assist you in getting what you need. But please for your safety, take those wheels off.

 

holy cow, do not drive, take off the wheels right now! you bought the wrong wheels! the wheels HAVE to have clearance of teh calipers or you are damaging things big time!

there is nothing no number to look for. you just have to make sure you get high disc setup so the spokes clear the calipers

you are endangering yourself!

 

I wouldn't recommend to put spacers on either to make the wheels to clear.

 

Thanks alot


I didnt drive with them ,when I put rims on I realize that it was rubing on the caliper
How would I no If it can work,I have to order the rims from the Florida. I live in the Bahamas .


I like the following rims :


Maya DTM
Lowenhart br5 and Ld5
Lorinser Lm 5
Chrome

They are very costly saving up.
Can these rims fit,and does anyone know where I can find any of these on a deal?

Thanks Again

 

you need to get high disc application for the front. i have trafficstar (jdm version of maya) and for the front it's high disc and for the rear it's standard disc
