Has anyone else had trouble with the edge of the brake pad rubbing with the inside of the wheel? Fitted some 284mm discs, 4 stud red dot from LMF, Vectra V6 calipers and Vectra GSI pads. The edge of the pad where its curved to the shape of the inside of the disc rubs against the wheel. Fitted the old pads that came with the calipers for now so that the body of the caliper sits further in for now, but its not an ideal cure. Any ideas?

just to update this for anyone doing a search, as suggested I bought some 3mm spacers from Halfords for 12.99 and did the job perfect
