15inch rim problems

[bud_8841]

Hi guys

I have just put 15inch subaru rims on my 03 forester and the back work fine its just that
There rubbing on the front calibers, has anyone else found this to be a problem
Or do I just get the angle grinder out and go from there?

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

Yep tried before on a few SG's and Outback. Just use angle grinder on the edge of tjeyd front calipers. ..

But go easy, do a little bit at a time till the wheel fits, then you'll know how much to take off on the other side. remember you can take more off but you cant put it back on :iconwink:

Yup.

"Measure twice; cut once" ... :iconwink:

I am currently having the same problem with re-hanging a door in the house so that it opens from the opposite side. Bloody door frame is about 3/4" out of square! I didn't think it was possible for a door frame in a modern house to be so bad ... But then, the person who did it originally hung the door so that it covered the central heating return air duct when open , so not exactly Einstein!!

Also ruined the edge on two of my good chisels by hitting nails that were flush with the surface (under the paint). They weren't ever punched.

As Taza and NL have both said, proceed with care. Good luck with it.
