No worries....That's my motto "Never look Back!" LOL

I wonder if that's why I keep making the same mistake over and over....LOL

Here is the '19 silverado caliper I bought last year for R&D. Hit it with a 40 grit flapper wheel to clearance it to fit

So if I drop ship a set to you, you can shave, smooth and powder coat them for me?

That would be awesome. What would be your price on that?

I could do that yes. Let me get the price on powder and supplies and we can go from there

OK,
Since nobody here has popped these on yet I decided to test fit the calipers on my 03 Tahoe.
I suspected my Z71 wheels wouldn't fit and needed a test wheel with a high probability of success.
So I finally convinced this guy who sells wheels on craigslist to let me borrow one of his 19+ Silverado wheels...18x8.5 26 offset.
Sellers on Craigslist are so untrusting....did he think I was going to steal one wheel from him? I had to give him $40...Sheesh

So, Rotor and caliper went on easy peasy.....used (2) 1/2 washers from home depot code AGB for spacers on top bolt and bottom.
25 cents each, no stainless or hardened available. I recommend hardened. With the two washers it lined up the caliper perfectly over the rotor.
Here are the pictures.

03 Z71 did not clear the caliper and didn't have a spacer to check. It did clear the barrel so a small spacer will work.
19 Silverado wheel worked with 1/2 inch clearance....see pics. I suspect any wheel that came on 19+ silverado will work or any aftermarket wheel that fits a
19+ Silverado without needing a spacer will work.
My 19 Suburban RST 22 inch wheel cleared easy. But I'm not putting 22s on my Tahoe.

Here are the PICs

I really like it.
Its a nice looking caliper even out of the box.

These are the secret washers from Home Depot.

Yes, any wheel from a T1 which is: 19+ Silverado or Sierra or 21+ Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, or Escalade will clear these brakes (even the 17” steelies) as they all come with these brakes. Some of the K2 20” wheels will work but I don’t think any of the 22” wheels will work because they’re all pretty concave. I doubt any 800 or 900 wheels will clear.

I'm was interested in this wheel....rhino Primm.
But now I know....I'll order it for a 2020 Silverado not for a 2003 Tahoe....the offsets are different.





But now I might go with more of a spoke based wheels now to show-off the caliper. Like the Silverado wheel but some tougher.
