Well I have the wheels installed, and they look good, but we have another PROBLEM!!!

The valve stems hit the calipers as the wheel goes round, this is in the front wheels only..

There is not enough clearance to have a cap on the valve stem, it shredded the caps..

Now what do I do? I just spent what $1300 + for the wheels, waited what 5 months, and just spent $88 to have these mounted, and balanced, and on top of that I wasn't happy with the way the front wheel hub looked to the rear hub, but they look great on the car so I can over look that, but I do have a BIG PROBLEM with the valve stem hitting the calipers..

I guess I'd be curious as to what is difference with the valve stems on your wheels compared to the other folks who have had them installed already. Has anyone else had this issue? I haven't heard anything

ToolFan66 · 03-20-2015, 05:51 PM

I think this will be an issue with the SS cars with Brembos running the ZL1 off set..

Gimpie95 · 03-20-2015, 05:55 PM

I get that, but wasn't the Red Rock Metallic car that got these first an SS 1LE with Brembos and ZL1 offsets?

post up a few pics where it is hitting so we can see it, i know its a disappointment after waiting all this time for something, however don't let it rain on your parade, try to look at the bright side and see the good.

Hey Ohio Speed... your car looks amazing and it obviously has some huge Brembo's on. did your valve stem hit the caliper???
just wondering.

Gimpie95 · 03-20-2015, 06:46 PM

It's not hitting the caliper. It's hitting the roller skates on the stock Brembos pads. Guys will need to replace their front SS pads with an aftermarket version without roller skates or cut off their existing pads

Gimpie95 · 03-20-2015, 09:20 PM

I was able to confirm that the 20x10 +35 up front WILL NOT require cutting of the roller skates or changing of the brake pads. If you have +35's up front, you're good to go (haven't mounted the other side yet, but shouldn't be any different)
