Have the rims been scratched by an aftermarket caliper?

Hey folks, hope everyone’s safe.

I don't know if this topic has been opened yet, but I wanted to share a recent experience I had with my Toyota Land Cruiser 200 wheel spacers.

I installed a new set of Brembo calipers and HRE rims, but they are scratching the rims because they are too big. I already had them installed and didn't want to spend money on another set of calipers and wheels.

So I searched on Google for a solution and finally decided to install a set of spacers. The effect is very nice. Not only did it solve the scratching problem, but my wheels were flush with the fenders. The whole car looks fuller and is very stable while driving.

Now I'm cruising with peace of mind.
If anyone else has similar spacer issues or wants to prevent wheel hub scratches, I highly recommend considering spacers as a viable solution.

Keep rolling, everyone!

By the way, the spacers are BONOSS Toyota Land Cruiser 200 Series wheel spacers.

It's never pleasant to scratch your rim

Plenty of soap and a nail brush if you do...

Thank you for the information as it is always good that someone has done the spacer upgrade already.
I have a GB J200 series on 20" Alloys and think (possibly like many others) that the wheels are set too far inside the natural contour of the bodywork fender/arch.
Could I ask what size (1" etc) you used please?

Russell.
