Wheel not clearing stock brakes

[Mikes06GT]

I put on a set of FR500 replicas the other day. Just drove the car about 15 miles other day and great, tonight took for a drive and I hear this god awful scrapping, I pull over and can see its scrapping the stock caliper. This is only the rear passenger side. Could I have torqued it too tight? I'm going to remove and reinstall tomorrow but any advice or comments would be great!!

What did u tq to and which caliper is it?

I just did by hand with lug wrench. Stock calipers. It also mainly happened s when I make a turn so maybe loose. I don't know. Freaked me out a little. Going to take off and put on again tomorrow

Sigh.... Which caliper? Front, rear, drivers, passenger?

85 ft/# is spec

Said in first post, rear passenger side. All others are fine.

Ah, miss that, my bad.


Loose or wrong wheel, if u gave the boxes I would check the part numbers.

I actually swapped with another guy. We made sure we put right wheels on right side. At first I thought too tight but when I took for another ride and realized it was just when I made a turn, I thought maybe too loose. I am going to jack up in morning and take time and redo. Hopefully works.

maybe too loose? wheels are not side specific.... did they come off another stang?

That's wierd. Don't FR500's clear brembo's as well?? If they do I find it hard to imagine it would be hitting the caliper on a stock rear

Make sure the caliper is tight too.
