C7 brake calipers
I ordered 2016 C7 Stingray brake calipers from Ecklers. I went to get them installed and they were rubbing against the factory rim. Has anyone had this issue and if so what is the proper solution.

I get that they make them for the C7, but the entire point was to emulate the look of Brembo brakes. You already paid for the real thing, why cover them up with fakes? I would not be surprised that they don't fit since it's not a piece requiring any type of tolerance.

Those aren't calipers, they're caliper covers...and if you really need red, go to a good shop and have your calipers painted or powder coated.
