well it was just brought to my attention that the 120y brake calipers can cause a few dramas when fitting 15 inch mags,
is there anyone who would like to give us some advice on how to deal with this problem??????

i heard you can cut a part off the caliper plate ,but honestly not sure if i really want to do that as i want it to be legal and safe,

so are there any other options?????????????????????????????

spacer plates?????????????????????

custom mags???????????????????????


what mags have been used on the 120y struts with 120y calipers and how did you get them to fit ,any help and pictures would be aprecated cheers guys

evil betty

Wheres it rub? Inner face? I can only assume the wrong offset because 15s would definately clear the calipar height wise. They only had 12s standard. Ivee never had trouble with any normalish mag wheels.

well i dont actualy have the wheels i want for the ute yet so im not 100 percent that i will have the problem,but it was just brought to my a ttention by john_13961

as he has the 120y calipers and saying that his 15 inch mags are having big problems with the 120y capiers with new brake pads,

i just wanted to investigate this issue for future reference as i dont really want to change my brake set up just yet

Spacers could probably help clear the calipers being that the rim will be out more but then you have to buy longer wheel studs so that the lug nuts tighten properly.
