MGP Caliper Covers Rubbing On My Rims

In this video, I talk about some issues with the MGP Caliper Covers rubbing against my rims in the front. I also show a couple of remedy options I have to decide on. Check it out and tell me what you think!

I remember I started watching you with that white charger. I had a b5 blue charger rt back then and I loved the mods you did. Hard times came and I had to sell my rt. Around jan 2022 things got better and I had a great deal on a corvette c6 ls3. Non the less I enjoy your videos. I’m happy to see you uploading and I’m sticking with you. Love your content man ( English isn’t my mother language sorry for any mistakes)

Thank you for staying with the journey sir

I added the 1/4 spacer because I had the same issue with my caliper covers. The spacers made the wheel shake so I took them off. I couldnt get a refund yet, still working on it. I ended up getting the OEM covers. I havent installed them yet, so we will see how it goes. At no time when I was ordering the covers from MGP did it indicate that a spacer may be needed. And when I called them they did not offer me the 1/4 spacers. Very upset with their customer service. But I do like the product.

[@RydinNStyle]

I totally understand. I haven't tried MGPs remedy 1/4" spacers, but I may be putting on the 1" ones in the future

I think a wider stance will look cool but then you'll also need to check clearance for the steering too. And you could just put 2 of one size spacers on the drivers side then the larger spacer on the passenger side to see which stance you prefer and clearance. Then just change over the two you dont want on that particular side. Looking good though bro! I still got my SRT.

[@RydinNStyle]

Ah yes, great points, thank you for those ideas

[@jpicard81]

Any updates? I was looking at these or the rough country ones. Leaning toward the rc ones due to price

[@RydinNStyle]

I'll be installing and uploading in January, these are definitely near he top of the list. Thank you

[@CloseEnoughConstruction]

You’ll have to grind the stock studs down with the bigger spacers

[@RydinNStyle]

Uh oh, that can't be good if it isn't plug n play

[@James.Markham757Va]

What did you go with?

[@RydinNStyle]

I am doing more research, but I'm leaning towards th 1.25"

[@James.Markham757Va]

@@RydinNStyle Definitely go hub centric with lugs. I’ve put 25mm spacers on my vehicle since watching this video, and everything’s been good so far. Obviously not a longer term review or anything (lol) but now I’ll be able to fit my caliper covers on my vehicle and stance looks great at 1” for me.

[@hammer3921]

Put them in the trash. Had them on my 07 R/T. They look cheap IMO like fake Brembo’s. Never even considered them for my 18. The response you got from MGP is BS.

[@RydinNStyle]

I just wanted to cover the calipers to help reduce the brake dust and clean up that behind the rim look, but they can look cheap as well

[@adrianr2309]

Worst purchase I made,took it off my Durango.Noise was too much

[@RydinNStyle]

Yes, that screeching sound was painful

[@chrissalazar9644]

Do you try to get a refund from MGP?

[@thatbrooklynchick2454]

I'll do you one even better .. I have these things on both of my vehicles.... I was driving down the road a week ago and both FRONT caliper cover popped off while I was literally driving down the road. And on my other vehicle I was going to the store and suddenly I heard a squeak noise . Rubbing noise. Rattling like I can't deal with it.

Scotty Kilmer gave his opinion on wheel spacers, I think if you went with a 1/4’’ inch ones that would give you the clearance that you needed so the brake caliper covers wouldn’t rub without being too thick unlike the 1-1/4’’ inch thick ones, but in the end it’s your vehicle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGGkdZtuo9JjrcU

Hey, I appreciate the video link, I've been on the fence about putting anything on because of the unknown wear and tear factors
