    Question Regarding Bogarts

    i have my 08' Silverado and Rich at Bogart is having a hard time getting the right size fronts for my truck without the rims sticking past out the fender ,im not about too even think how that would look.

    i dont think im the only 08' silverado thats going to have 17'' front Bogarts

    my front suspension just has the drop spindle,so of course only 17'' or bigger fit

    since im doing street/strip the size he recommends is a 17x7...


    this sucks,its going on 2 months already waiting on my fronts...as already took a month to get my rears in.

    the stock steel wheel is a 17x7.5...he should maybe work off of that,but he just called me said from hub mounting surface-out he can only do 3 1/2 inch...as max we measured would be 2 1/2...that means my fronts would stick out an inch

    who here is running 17 front bogarts?and what size width,also do u have drop spindles?
    i dont understand why its so hard when theres tons of silverados with Bogarts like these

    Front are 17s w/street tire rear 16s Hoosiers d-10s unbolted



    16s rear an front 15s on Hoosiers bolted d-10s

    What is your measurement for the caliper over hang? I measured mine wrong the first time and we thought we were going to have the same problem. Measure it right and he'll be able to fix you up. May take a little grinding on the face and the top of the caliper, but you can fit a 15. Flaco put some 15's on two 08+ trucks and ran an 1/8" spacer and just ground the top a little

    The 17x7 wheel is HEAVY. Looks good, but heavy

    I have 17x4 fronts with 14" rotor and 08 calibers. Im using gto spares and a m&h 28x4.5 front runners. I used a adapter to use this wheel. They sit even with wheel well so if I can clear them then you with 13" rotors and custom wheels being made should fit no issues

    is there any difference in 99-07 to 08-11's ? i run 16s but after it was said and done 15s would have worked i run a 16x4.5

    to bad youre not closer id let ya try my fronts on, and if i knew they would fit i could bring them and let you use them at SAR.. looks like i wont be running

    dumb questions, but have you asked on rgv or hpt?

    Went with 15s in the front for mine and they DO NOT clear the front brakes without a bunch of grinding. Need to run 16 on 04+

    OP you may want to get ahold of flaco. I seem to remember one of the nnbs trucks he was working with had bogarts.
