    Howdy folks.

    So I have a set of fairly new Method NV's (Purchased around June) that finally needed a tire rotation. Once I got to installing the rear drivers side wheel to the front passenger side, I noticed that 1 of the 2 rows of wheels weight is scraping on the brake caliper. Oddly, the front driver side is not scraping though.

    I thought maybe because the wheels were suspended, it was causing it, so once I lowered my truck, I drove it up and down the street, and sure enough, it's still scraping. So I'm wondering.. Is it okay to just remove the 1 row of wheel weights? If I do, should I take off the row of wheel weights on the driver side to balance it out? Any advice would help! And sorry I don't have any photos at the moment, but they're the little square metal stuff like seen in this google photo.

    Don't remove the weights, see where they are contacting the caliper and try grinding a small amount off the caliper with a file or grinding stone in a drill or Dremel.
