Wheel fitment issue
 

So I bought a set of RPF1's a few months ago which I wasn't planning to mount until spring. I came across a thread that said RPF1s don't fit over sport brakes....which I happen to have. So I go to the garage and check - they don't fit :vash:

Can I grind a bit off the caliper and be ok? It seems they rub, but feels like 2-3mm more clearance would do the trick. So the real question is, how much caliper clearance do I need at minimum? Do wheels deflect in anyway that I should be concerned about? Or can I take off the bare minimum to let it spin freely?

Thanks.

Probably need to check clearance with new pads. The caliper will move outward with new pads. Or are they not on sliders on a Miata?

Do what I did... sell the current wheels and get ones that fit over the brakes :) I had to sell two of my sets of wheels (inculding a set of like-new Enkei NT03+M) so I could buy a set that would fit over my Brembos :giggle:

thats the only downfall of the rpf1's yeah it sucks you could downsize your brakes

If I buy new wheels, I'll be getting ones big enough to buy your Bembos.

I'm going to try grinding the caliper down a bit.
