I had new wheels put on about 5 months ago. Everything has been fine until last week when a slight "rubbing noise" started. I noticed that the paint on my caliper was worn off. Obviously the wheel and caliper were making contact. I took the car back to the place where I got the wheels and they told me that the floating brake caliper coming into contact with the wheel usually means that the pads need changing. I changed the pads today and have ordered 3mm spacers to pull the wheel off the brake a touch more. The guy who changed the brakes told me that the caliper moves but the "Arm" over the caliper does not so it will not fix my problem. Any experience or advice would be greatly appreciated.
