Brembo Brake Rubbing on Tire Counterweights
So I got some Forgestar D5 17x10 and Mickey Thompson street r 305/45/17s. The counterweights the shop installed seems to rub on the brembo brakes and was wondering if I can bend the part that's rubbing. Saw a video of a guy reviewing a different rim, think they were 17x11s, and he said he got those sizes cause he didn't want to bend the brakes like other people. I didnt know if this is what he was talking about. I'm gonna take it back to the shop today and see if they can move them. I read forums saying these rims and tires fits stock Zl1 setups so maybe the counterweight are just put in a bad spot.

Pretty sure you can ask a shop to balance the tires so that the weights are on the other side and explain that the weights are running against the caliper.

I ended up having to run some small hub centric spacers to make mine work (and I don’t even have wheel weights lol).

Scrape those weights off before they wear a hole in your calipers hard piped brake line.

I use this in all my motorcycles (Way better then weights) and have used it in a couple cars that had balancing issues. maybe look into it if the weights continue to be a problem.

get your shop to shift the weights away from that exact spot where contact will be made...not a difficult task for any tire shop

Thanks, everyone. I was able to just get the shop to move the weights. It seems to be good now.
