No, installing caliper covers will not void your manufacturer’s factory warranty. We work directly with the manufacturers on the development of the caliper covers to ensure safety and durability. MGP Caliper Covers can be removed just as easy as it is to install.

No, we designed the caliper covers to make the installation quick and easy. We provide stainless-steel clips that will clip directly onto your calipers. With the basic tools, you can install MGP caliper covers within an hour. The hardest part is removing the wheels! Check out our installation video and guide.

No, unfortunately we provide a minimum wheel size to ensure there’s enough clearance for the caliper covers. Anything smaller than the minimum wheel size listed, will not have enough clearance and the covers will rub against the rims.

Our Caliper Covers require 3mm of clearance (about two stacked quarters) between your stock brake calipers and factory wheels. 

If you do no meet the minimum wheel size (noted on every product page), we do not recommend purchasing caliper covers. 

For example, The Dodge Charger and Challenger require 18″ wheels or larger. 

We specifically designed our Caliper Covers to work with most OEM wheels. While most aftermarket wheels do provide additional clearance, we highly recommend that you confirm spacing before placing your order. Our Caliper Covers only require 3mm of clearance (about two stacked quarters) between your stock brake calipers and factory wheels.

MGP provides the minimum wheel size in the fitment table located at the bottom of every product page. Please verify if your wheels meet or exceeds the minimum wheel requirement.

 

To check your wheel size, the last 2 digits will indicate your wheel size. 

No, we designed the Caliper Covers to dissipate brake heat. Our specially engineered covers divert heat away from your brakes and out through the top of your factory calipers. We hold our production standards to an OEM level to ensure safety and durability. Check out this video on our MGP Caliper Covers Heat Test.

Yes. As easily as our products are to install, they are equally simple to remove when it comes time for brake service or maintenance.

We are very confident in our product and guarantee for 3 years that the finish will withstand any heat and corrosion that may occur.

MGP Caliper Covers are made with Aerospace Grade Aluminum (not with a plastic material). The bolt design across the top and logos/design are engraved, so they never scratch off. Each set of caliper covers include stainless steel clips that fasten directly to your caliper brackets making it quick and easy to install.

SN08 CLIP INSTALLATION

Clip SN40 is designed to snap into position on your vehicle, the clip is designed to be smaller than the casting of the factory caliper for a snug fit.

* The first step is to engage the bottom clip leg on the casting of the carrier bracket on the side closest to the rotor.

* Rotate the clip towards the top of the caliper and push into position or until the clip clicks into place

* The design of the clip may require a bit more than just a hand push, using a rubber mallet to tap it into position may be necessary

Below you will see images of this exact installation for your review, showing the correct spot and angle the clip needs to be mounted on.

A minimum wheel size requirement is set for every vehicle, clearance issues with aftermarket or factory wheels are rare, but every wheel design is different. 

If you have questions about the wheel clearance on your vehicle, we advise that you check the space in two specific spots before ordering using the guide below. 

Spot # 1: Space between the outboard face of the caliper and the spoke of the wheel should be at least 1/8″ 

Spot # 2: Space between the top of the caliper and the wheel dish should be at least 1/2″

The image below points the two spots mentioned above.

Below you will find a generic picture showing an adjustment made to all of our installation clips to obtain clearance with the rotor. 

Step 1:  With the clips off of the caliper, press down with the use of a bench vise or vise grips to reduce the gap on the clip. 

Step 2:  Re insert and check clearance

* IF you find that the clips are not clearing the rotor after the first attempt, repeat Step 1 until clearance is obtained and the clip is no longer rubbing on the rotor

* The stainless steel clips will not snap or break by performing this adjustment.

Replacement Parts

The .013 feeler gauge (or .013 paper strip) is needed to check clearance between the clips and the brake rotor. A gap of at least .013 inch (.32 mm) is recommended (enough to slide the paper strip in and out without sticking). Once clearance is confirmed, you can re-install wheel and tighten lugnuts per manufacturer’s specifcation.

If the paper feeler gauge is missing you can cut of a strip from one of the installation instruction cards that you received. That can be used as the feeler gauge and it will allow you to check for clearance.
