Caliper Covers
I am thinking about putting some caliper covers on my 2018 Lariat, my truck has an electronic parking brake, does anybody know if I can do this, all I'm seeing is for a 17 with mechanical brakes

I've got the MGP w/ the Ford logo on 20"whls.
The clearance between the cover & the rim is really, really tight. If you get a set make sure to rotate the tires both forwards and backwards after install to check clearance. Elsewise you'll be hearing a swish-swish-swish noise as you drive ~~~ the caliper cover w/b rubbing against the inner wheel/rim.
A few weeks ago- after the dealer did an oil change & tire rotation -the front set on my truck were rubbing. A quick whack w/ a wooden dowel & a whammer & all is good again.
