[QUOTE="Cornwallis, post: 1532694, member: 40708"] R1 17” setup was a nightmare, I’m not surprised to see this thread. The 17” wheel setup does not only NOT fit an OEM wheel set, it also does not fit a 17” Enkie wheel set. It’s a joke really. Additionally, OP, I HIGHLY suggest making sure you have clearance between your rear caliper and the rotor. I had to shave more than 50 thousandths form then rack to get it to fit without rubbing. The kit should have a shim system of some sort but it doesn’t. Also, once install and you finally get them working fine, you’ll find that after aggressive turning there is enough flex in the footing rotors that it pushes the pads out ever so slightly and you will have 1 soft pedal stroke before having good feel back. Somebody needs to make a truly tested, thorough, heavy duty brake system. If I had it to do over, I would not use R1 again. [/QUOTE]
