Well i keep looking at my back brakes and it really doesnt look like I can run any thing smaller than 17s due to my "max trailering package" oversized rear disc brakes. Does anyone know for sure whether 17 is my minimum or will a set of 16s fit over the rear disc or am i stuck trying to find slicks for 17s?
I'm not sure what the measurement is for your rear discs, but I was able to fit 16's on the front of my 06 Silvy when most thought the smallest you could go is 17. I only have about 1/8th between my calipers and rims, but they fit. Not sure if it helps, but the rims I got through Summit were only about $60 ea.
I have a 2011 model and I'm 99% sure that 16s will not fit.
I haven't personally tried it is why I won't say 100%.
I run 18s on the street and I run 17s at the track.
With the 17" wheels there is tad bit less than an 1/8" of clearance between wheel and brakes.
This is with GM stock 5 star 17" wheels.
Correct! 17's are as small as you can go! Hell, aren't our rear brakes 15"?
Thanks for clearing that up guys! Im thinkin about running the 28/11.5/17 Mickey T's
What sive are yall running?
Lots of people are switching to M&H.
Yes, I would look at the M&Hs and compare first.Quote:

Both of these are temporary set ups.
Just grind the calipers.
The rear brakes are too big on the 6.2's.
Grinding the caliber won't work. The bigger motor forces the
Larger brakes option.
Check out M&H tires I think they have a good selection for 17's
m&h has a good tire selection in 17 but none of them are really tall unless you get the 390's, they hook way better than mickeys thos, well worth the shorter tire imo
Ya I'm looking at the 275/50/17 m&h. Do you think that will be enough tire for say a future 12 second truck?
