The brake cost is a straw man. How large are the discs???

Ik i understand where ur coming from with being flashy and dont want the attention. Its all good man. My only gripe y i said what i said was because 2004 was the only year that we know officially how many were built. So the 04's are just a rarer breed. But i dont blame ya if u got a great deal.

My Silverado has factory 17s on 13-inch front and 13.5-inch rear discs. If you can't clear those with factory 17s for some odd reason (if it really is 13/12 it won't be an issue) the factory 18s should clear just fine. Downgrading brakes because you want factory wheels doesn't make sense to me.

If I can keep the brakes an run factory 17" im fine with that besides the previous owner took off the Foose wheels but will I need to run a different tire size because the truck is lowered ? An Silver05 I know what your saying and like I said before if this was not my DD truck I would just leave it alone besides now every time I get out im expecting you to be waiting on me with a tire iron lol .

Its just the 1/3 that comes on the rst trucks but when I looked at the spare yesterday it looked like it had a spacer on it for the calipers. The
rims / tire combo the previous owner put on rubs and I want them off .
