    I'm at work, but I'm going to take them off tonight to check it out. I'm just trying to get a better idea of what else it could be rubbing on/what I could do to fix it aside from ordering larger spacers.

    Its the clip that holds pressure on the pad to the caliper. Take the wheel off and see where it is rubbing.

    Does it have another name? I'm having a hard time finding it on realoem?

    To be honest I'm not sure what it's rubbing on, I assumed the brake caliper because that what it rubbed on when I tried the 5mm spacers, but it could be anything.

    Is it the caliper or the anti-rattle clip?

    e38 Style 5s rubbing on brake calipers

    I need help. I'm trying to run a set of 16x8 et 23 Style 5s on my e30 but it keeps rubbing on the brake caliper (front only obviously). I'm currently running an 8mm spacer since the 5mm set that was given to me wasn't enough.

    Now the wheel only rubs on half the rotation of the wheel. Has anybody run across this with these wheels? I'm at a loss. I'm assuming it's still rubbing against the brake caliper but I have no idea what could be making contact for only half the rotation. If anyone has any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it as it's cold as shit right now and if I have a plan going in I might not get frost burn.
Working...
