I have some civic HX wheels they are a 45 offset, The rears fit just fine , but the fronts rub on the calipers.... I tried spacers that were thinner than 1/4in but the studs arent long enough.... I know I could replace the studs but thats a little too involved, Can I grind a little off the caliper? It looks like it has a little extra meat on it...or is that a bad idea? I really like the look of those rims and I already have them I want to make them work...Besides, I really got to get these bright pearl green work copies off there!!! my MPG has gone to shit w/ them!!!

 

Use 5mm spacers up front. Theres enough stud there.
If you want you can grind the calipers down. Id just use spacers. Replacing the OEM studs up front is harder than people think. Id done it.

Its actually almost impossible to get longer studs in the front hub without removing the hub itself.

 

Gracias!!!!
