I want to do this. Is it plug n play? Do I need larger than stock wheels? (I’m sure) can you just buy off the shelf calipers, and bolt them on?
Wheels 17" or bigger are fine iirc. Calipers with the brackets and pads and rotors that match. They bolt right up. They fill up a 20" wheel much better than stock

Edit here's mine excuse the disgustingly dirty wheel.

These are getting close to the rivets. It’s been needing tlc for awhile now. I work on everyone else’s and put mine off until I absolutely have too. But half contact is a first for me

I’ve never seen that either. Are the rotors warped?

Probably. But it would have high and low spots all over the contact area. Not consistent like that. I’m gonna pull it apart this weekend.

Thanks! Eventually I’ll upgrade the wheels. Until then, I’ll be stuck with NBS..
Oh you have 16s? Bummer. Lots of inexpensive wheels for these trucks available luckily. I bought some 20" welds for my old denali for $200 on craigslist.

Those are my stock 20's on the caddy tho.
