New Brake Pads? Help.
Hey, i was just installing some new brake pads for my rx8. it has 18x8 wheels on it, their aftermarket not stock.
anyways, my problem is, the new pads were alot thicker, i got them on and thought everything was fine, i put the wheel back on, then spun the wheel, and the inside of the wheel spoke rubbed on the caliper. i didnt have this problem before because the pad was so thin. Is there a way to fix this?

new pads cannot cause the wheel to rub on the caliper. Check your work over again. Did you replace the all the shims and guides? Correctly tighten the caliper bolt. New pads means you would of had to push the piston back into the caliper, how did you do this? What I am getting that that brand new, correct pads should not cause this.

right now what i did is just put the new pad in on the inside of the rotor. and the old one on the outside. when the new one wears down a little bit, i plan on putting it on the outside, and the other new one that has not been used yet on the inside of the rotor. because the thickness of the brake pad on the inside does not effect how far the caliper sticks out..Is this a good idea?

I am not trying to be a search ****, but there were too many threads to pick from. Do a title only search for 'spacers' and you will find a few on the subject.
