front brake clearance

[Guest csm101]

Quick question. Will a 15x8" 3.75 offset wheel clear the front brakes on a 2003?

It depends on the wheel, however, I am inclined to say "probably not."

[Guest csm101]

So stick with 16" or more diameter?

I would recommend it.

 

If you can find a tire shop that has a 15x8 w/ 3.75" backspacing and they're willing to test mount the rim on your truck, by all means, do that. Then you'll know for sure.

 

I know that some people have put 15x8s on their 2001s, and I can't imagine that the brakes are that much different on the 2003s. I do not recall what wheels they were, but not all 15x8s have the same internal clearance.

 

I suggest trying it out for yourself. I think that the US Wheels (same one's I have) MIGHT work. I'm not 100% sure though.
