My Pro-Stars won't fit up front w/ my new AutoZone brakes, why? The Pro-Stars I have up front won't clear since I did the front pads/rotors. Its hitting the inside of the pro-star even with the spacer. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I go with a bigger spacer? Will that be unsafe?

Re: My Pro-Stars won't fit up front w/ my new AutoZone brakes, why? same thing happend to me. i first bought the bigger spacer i 7/16 but i didnt want to buy longer lug nuts. so i just did some grinding on the front caliper also. its not bad only about 5-10 min on each side for it to clear.

They fit fine until I changed the brake pads. The new pads push the calipers out further, that's why they are hitting now.
