Is the clearance between the caliper and the inside of the wheel an issue on 17" wheels?
The 17" Method wheels seem extremely popular on other forums and FB groups. But I've seen some posts on here mentioning concern about the clearance between the caliper and the inside of the wheel. One post mentioned something along the lines of "one bad pot hole". Correct me if I'm wrong... but doesn't the wheel move with rotor/caliper/brake assembly? Not independently?
That one had me stomped, you'd have to hit a pretty nasty pot hole and either drastically bend your wheel or snap a stud on the hub to make contact with the caliper right? The only real issue I could foresee is having something like a rock become jammed between the caliper and wheel (which I have had a pebble get lodged between the rotor and brake dust cover on a different car, and that is one awful sound).
