Once the fence. Would like to get color to Redwood for body and then Black AT and Redwood 4, but $125 up charge for the body color difference (not exact color match).Screenshot 2022-05-23 164032.png

So while I chew on it...figured I'd share the info.

Anyone have these installed? I read/saw pics the other day, but cant find it now. I think they were on a pre-2021 Yukon if I recall correctly.

Every set we have ever installed had to run spacers cause they hit the wheels.

I actually went out there tonight earlier and felt the space between the OEM rim and the caliper...VERY questionable.

I actually just installed a set of covers on my 2022 Z71 last night. They look great and the space between the clips and brake rotor was more than adequate. The front covers were tight to the caliper with no forcible side-to-side movement when tugging on them. But the back covers give me a slight concern as they were a bit looser when tugging. Even if they did shift laterally, there should still be enough room there to avoid any contact with the wheel but I'll be monitoring the next few drives.

Thanks for confirming. As I also have those same rims as well. Looking for a "quick fix" vs Brembos right this moment :)

Plenty of room to install and remove without removing the wheels.

Personally I would pass on overpriced painted thin metal, reviews seem to be mixed now, a few years back they were pretty horrible.
I have not had any issues with them. I knew my plans were to only keep my previous 16, and this 17 for a few years, thus the reasoning not install the real deal.

I am in your camp... I won't knock them because I have never used them, but I think painted/powder coated calipers just look better.
