I might just grab a few washers from home depot.

In the meantime, I've been driving it and they seem to be wearing in a bit.
Makes me think of Kyle Busch's problem yesterday in the Sprint Cup race at Martinsville.(for those who saw it,you know what I mean)

You mean when he did that old Kenny Rogers song....

"You Picked a Fine Time to Leave Me Loose Wheel"

I did giggle a bit when Shrub's crew pulled the ultimate D'oh on pit road.

Problem solved! Now just take off the wheels and touch the calipers (if thats whats rubbing) with a small grinder a bit where you're getting clearance issues.
