wheel fitment issue

[nelliej]

ordered some Dub 22" shotcallas wheels for my 2021 Yukon. I have seen other people using this exact wheel set up on the same vehicle but I cannot get mine to fit ( hitting front brake caliper) does anyone have any suggestions?

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics of the truck, please.

You've seen other people using this wheel design, but do you know what your new wheel's offset is, compared to your stock wheel's offset?

Unfortunately, wheel offset and brake clearance are 2 different measurements. The design of the spoke face plays a role as well. Have you tried a spacer?

tried using a 1/4" spacer which was not enough. 1/2" clears the caliper but I lose to much thread on the stud. The back wheels have no clearance issues just the front

Where is it hitting? See if some of the ideas from the below post help:

Started my big brake upgrade today. I knew I was in for trouble but I like challenges. So I have the stock 17" Z71 rims.

In order to get the calipers to fit I had to grind down the ridge on the top of the calipers, as some others have done, and I needed a 1/4" wheel spacer.

I don't care for wheel spacers but 1/4" is minimal so I felt OK with that. I used a single 2mm stainless washer to space the caliper. The caliper is not centered on the rotors, it is offset a little back, which allowed me to get away with using a single 1/4" wheel spacer.

My brain went a little crazy at first, but after some thought I do not think the caliper being slightly off-center matters. The pistons on the calipers will extends and contact the rotors, and the pressure on both sides should be equal.

I was worried about the wheel spacer, so I took some measurements with a digital caliper and I calculate that with a 1/4" wheel spacer I lost 15% of my thread engagement.

So I am running 85% of my threads on all 6 lugs. A little worrisome but not enough to deter me. Maybe I will get longer studs, but for now I am up and running.

Road test went great, brakes feel great. Next time I hitch up the boat I will see if it was all worth it.

So add longer studs or bigger spacers.
