How much grinding is need to fit a pair of 15" rims? From what I can remember its no too awful much. I just wanna know if it is gonna be enough to where it causes durability issues with the caliper/bracket.

 

I dont know myself but I am wondering why you would want too?

 

TRACTION

There are ALOT more (and cheaper) slick choices if you go with a 15" rim

 

 

2001 RCSB LS1 / TR224 / Jag Perf. 4L65 / Nelson Tune / One Wheel Peel

Surely something in a 16 would be ok wouldnt it?

 

i think it is quite a bit and i dont know if it will work but i thought someone had already done it. from what i remembered when i had a truck on the lift i looked at it and took a tape meassure to it and it looked like a lot.

Invest in an eaton posi

 

Dude, Austin, get a posi first. THEN worry about grinding for slicks. You'll be amazed at how well that posi will help, even just a stock G80.

 

Anyone know how much different the truck calipers are vs the F-body???

I had 15s on my T/A and if the grinding is about the same I'll do it again for this truck.

Lot's more choices for 15" slicks and there is more siidewall for better traction. :0

 

I know for a fact it doesn't cause any issues, but I don't remember how much you have to grind off.

 

Been there done that.I put 15" wheels on my 99 GMC Sierra.They were steel American Racing 15x8. I had to grind about 3/8 to 1/2 of an inch off.I put a 3/8 inch spacer between the rim and rotor.They fit great. I had about 1/4 inch of clearance between the rims and calipers.I also ran a set of 28x10.50-15 MT et streets.
