after I finished putting the calipers back on and bolted the wheel on I couldnt turn it, so I thought, well I dont know what I was thinking, I turned it as hard as I could, the wheel broke the keepers off the outside pad
after messing this side up I took the othere side apart to see waht was wrong, nothing was wrong everyhting was how it was supsed to be.

Could the extra bad thickness be pussing the caliper closer to the wheels? thats the only reason I can think of why the wheels did that, they probably sit closer to the caliper than the factory ones.

Thankx

If its got wheels or a skirt you cant afford it.

I think you called it in your last sentence! As the pads wear out, the floating caliper;s outboard side will move toward the fixed rotor, leaving more room in between the caliper and wheel. When you push in the caliper piston and put new pads on, the outboard side of the caliper will be positioned more away from the rotor and closer to the wheel.

You may be able to safely grind down whatever metal on the caliper is in the way to gain clearance.

Good luck!

well I dont have to grind, my wheels just tore off everyhting that was rubbing, they kinda fixed themselves

I think its the dif backspacing on the wheels is why there so close?
