Today I got around to doing my new springs and blazer brake upgrade. With everything set and done I go for a test drive and sure enough. I thought i had a bad hub..all i heard was a scratching sound..so I had my bro in law drive it up and the down the street so I can pin point the nosie and sure sh*t the calipers where rubbing on my 15x aluminum weld racing rims.easy fix I had some 1/4 spacing laying around. And problem solved..i also included a pic.of the stock brake line I just added loom from the blazer line ...any one has any similar issue?

Where on the caliper and rim was the rubbing? 'Does this fit *** rims...' comes up all the time.

As stated in your other post about this, wheel fitment depends on backspace.

15inch hoops are big enough clear the caliper, but the wrong backspace will allow them to rub.

If you are using the blazer hose you have to use the blazer hose mount.
