whmayhew Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Can anyone tell me if there is a difference (Brake caliper) between the 16 inch wheel and the 17 inch aluminum wheel that came stock on my wife's 2006 Silverado k1500? I pull it at the local fairs and I have some Bridgestone Blizzak Winter Force that pull extremely good in the dirt. I bought some 16 inch steel wheels as I already had the 16 inch tires. They don't fit over the brake calipers. It looks like they use a bigger rotor, brake caliper now. Does anyone have first hand knowledge of this?

fordsareslow Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 I believe that when GM switched to drum breaks in the rear, they made the front disks bigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
