i have a 2012 honda fit sport on some 16x9 wheels all around
i replaced the original studs with extended ones. i have a 3mm spacer on the front wheels. but i kee phearing a funny noise from up front when i have them on. i waswondering if it would be a good idea to shave my caliper to get the clearance that i need.

would my wheel bearings go out sooner with the 16x9 wheels that i have??

 

offset? tire size? are you sure it's the calipers?

 

16x9 and spacers should wear out the bearings very quickly I would think.

I cannot understand why people put on such wide wheels. The gas mileage must really suck as well.

 

you should actually check clearance between your caliper and wheel before you go and start shaving things. If you have not done this yet you should turn your wheel lock to lock and check clearances. My bet is you are rubbing on the fender, inside of the wheel well, strut or some random bracket/clip.

 

^^ YEah probly that

hey got pics plz post whats spec on rims

 

Yes find the problem first, don't just start cutting/shaving/shotgunning. If it is the caliper you should be able to lift the car and spin the wheel by hand and if you hear the sound there's your problem. No sound it's probably somewhere in the wheel well, look for shiny plastic that's cleaner than the rest of the plastic and things like that.

 

Do this exactly!!!

You should always try a lock to lock and rotate on your test fit. Unless you pull the wheel off and can SEE evidence of metal contacting metal on the inside spokes,hoop of the rim I HIGHLY doubt it is the caliper.

also, specs/pics are NECESSARY for us to really help... Primarily tire dimensions and the offset

 

This is very good advice
