Re: 5.25" Pad + 5" BP = problem?

If I buy a 6.5" pad, will that do OK with the 5" BP?
A 6.5" pad will work with a 5" backing plate.

IMO with pads that have velcro to the edges, the hard glue from the velcro could also do damage to the paint if it hits. I don't really think it is an issue for anyone that is careful.
