    If not, then you should return them as they may pose a bigger danger to your safety.
    Sa bang shop yung mags, tires Lang sa Minerva. Actually umalis muna ako habang kinakabit yung mags to buy something to eat. Pag balk ko, pwede n daw ilipat s wheel alignment bay. Medyo senior n yung mekaniko (mga late 40s) kaya I ASSUMED ok na nga, so I did not check anymore. Lesson learned...never ASSUME

    definitely wrong set of wheels if spacers were needed. specially after installing new sets of them, the mechanic should have spinned each wheel, checking for obstructions such as what happened to your car. a thing of concern besides the wheels protruding a bit due to the spacers is the lessened amount of threads the wheel nuts have with the lugs. better have them inspected lest they come off in a frightening and dangerous way. as with the calipers, they are sturdy enough and as long as they're not sticking, no harm done.

    What we did is to put a spacer para magkaroon ng clearance between the caliper and mags...
    how thick is the spacer brader? you could probably increase wheel bearing wear & tear due to increased torque.
