Wheels rubbing on calipers
So at the weekend I bought some 15" Lenso BSX (BBS reps), they are 7J and ET38. I thought these would be fine to run but after attempting to fit them tonight it is apparent they are rubbing on the calipers on the front. Wondering if anybody has any suggestions? Could spacers solve this problem?

I've decided to try 15mm spacers, noticed the tyres are touching the suspension at the back as well.

yeah easy to swap, unbolt the calipers and hang up on strut so as not to stretch the hose, unbolt the carriers then swap in the new ones. bolt calipers back on, refit wheels
