Cant see anyone's pictures but Im guessing incorrect offset?
Huge issue on the Tbird SC I had with aftermarket rims and the Cobra calipers on it.

On a regular F150 one of the pads has a big "ear" that sticks out of one of the brake pads. The pads will attach to either side of the caliper you just have to be sure that you put the pad on the correct side. That ear is probably what's rubbing your wheel (at least that's what it would be on a regular F150)

I have seen and heard of that too, but what I have also seen when folks instead Raptor pads backwards like that is that the calipers will not close the pads onto the rotors. no THAT I have seen several times over the past months, even when they've been installed by a shop. I actually think that the Method Double Standards are just slightly tighter tolerance as a 17" wheel than stock or even other aftermarket wheels because I have sold over 50-60 of the R1 brake packages without having this issue on any other brand or even model of wheel.
