Corvette/Silverado Brake caliper compatability

[drperry]

I'd upgrade to discs all around if I didn't need to clear 16" wheels on the back

And I can't do the Z06 conversion because I need to run 17" wheels up front

Ok, refresh my memory.... WHY are you running two different sized wheels, front & back?

The Firestone Destination MT's were dirt cheap, and in a 16 inch... And since I'm not a 4x4 I don't need to run the same sized wheels front and back (even though, the Firestones are the same OD as the factory size )

I only run those for mud, and the occasional deep snowfall.

You are running two different size wheels front and back on your truck??

Occasionally, yes

Ok..... So, you can't run smaller on the fronts and be even more of a cheap-ass. But, you can run smaller on the back. So, the cheap ass won out over "naaah, that just doesn't look right"...?

They look good, though

I actually like the look of the tires & wheels on the back.. Too bad they won't also fit on the front..

Sorry for cluttering up your thread, Rusty!

If they fit up front I'd have a full set of MT's for the truck

Sorry Rusty!

And shush, Carl!

Don't worry, if I can ever afford to put 20s on, I will NOT put the 20s and the 16s on at the same time

I liked the looks of 20's on mine. But, I was always worried about the sidewalls when the roads got a little more unmaintained..

Hey it's I would go and feel un loved if someone didn't clutter up my thread.

What size of wheels do you have on your truck?
