Roush Rim protector issue

[Ed Zachary]

Hi,
I have a "new to me" 2018 Roush Raptor and it has this wheel.

I have noticed that water collects behind the lip and freezes and causes a vibration due to throwing off the wheel balance. Same thing happens with snow, but that is easier to remove.
Anyone already solve this? I am considering pulling them off and installing a thin washer behind each bolt to allow water to drain.

Thanks!

I don't think that'll let any water out because the lip of the wheel is still in the way and the threads will still be in the holes blocking the water. I would think if you wanted water to escape you would have to leave a few of those bolts out completely so it would be able to drain.

Spacing it out might work if you keep it clean.

Use precision ground washers so they are all the same thickness.
