Wheel close to brake caliper.

[Tomj]

Hey all,

I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Big Horn. I just got some G-FX TR14 wheels installed at Discount Tire. During the install they called me and said the wheels are real close to the brake calipers (approx 1/8 to 1/4 inch). They said it shouldn't be an issue. If that's true then why did they call me. Should I be worried about anything? Thanks...

It won't be an issue. They called because they didn't know any better.
Props for them to call if they weren't sure is worth more than the demerits for not knowing.
Tip them well.

Gerry

You are good to go. And welcome to the forum!

That's no problem. There was a time not so long ago when guys would grind on their calipers so they could put 15" wheels with flotation tires on instead of 16.5's. I'll bet they had less clearance than you have.
