You mentioned the problem, you got the pads replaced. If the rims barely cleared with worn pads, you can bet they won't clear with new pads. The caliper sticks out farther now, not sure what you can do about that

actually..i had the pads installed the other day.. same day as my rims.. but last night.. i went back..to go and have rotors installed.. coz they dint have it the day i got new pads on.. it clears the calipers no rubbing.. but when i went back the next day to get my rotors installed.. then i had the problem.. very lil rubbing..but it was a loud.. lol so..im pretty sure that spacers would work.. coz now im rolling on the new pads.. the dude just moved the calipers inward.. and no rubbing... so i just wana have spacers..coz as i can see..theres very lil clearance.. and the passenger side has no rubbing issue.. so i guess..its gona be aite..i just gotta get some stuff i need.. just to make sure..thanks for the output guys! just waiting for some tire place to open! then ima be rolling with spacers..hahha lol

mayeb they didnt geet you the correct rotors! cus from the sounds of it itsa only doing it on one side, i would take it back to the shop and have them fix it, it wasnt doing in before, so it shouldnt do it after, did they not test drive the car after hte instal?
