> [@350GT](#): > > I need to get mine inspected and registered before I can park it(its a US car I just brought in) then it will be put away for winter. I am still waiting for form 2 from RIV. How long have you been waiting?? I can give you a tip about the form 2. There is a 1-800 number you can phone and they will fax or email the form to you immediately. I will call the guy I got it from tommorow. I phoned and had an email 2 minutes later and then just printed it off. On top of that if you want to pm me I can tell you where to take your car so the inspection is done in 5 min. No lie, I was in and out with a signed form in 5 minutes. I’ll send you that number tomorrow! 😃 ---

I can verify it by showing you my wheels. The top of the caliper scrapes against the inside of the rim. Spacers won’t do anything, as its not rubbing near the spokes, its on the inside circular part of the wheel. One wheel scraped really bad, the other just barely scraped at all. I only drove out of my garage with them on… If you’re desperate, maybe throw them on and let them grind each other down haha. ---

ok. a few people on the board told me tear drop 15" wouldn’t fit around SR brakes. I did a test fit, and they fit fine, with 5mm+ of clearance. whats up with that? was there more than 1 version of tear drop wheels? ---

They didn’t fit over mine… Like they just barely physically fit over the brakes. I was able to bolt them up, but they scraped the inside of the wheels. Not the flat part of the spokes but where round inner part of the wheel. Like the top part of the caliper rubbed. Its not that the calipers stuck out to far, its that they were too high. Get what I mean? ---
