15 inch rim on a nbs 04 yukon xl

Rickyrick18 · July 21, 2016

Do they make thinner calipers to give the 15 inch rim that extra clearance??

Has anyone done this? Pics? Tips?

Umm...no. Just run the 16".

It's a street princess. No off-roading in it. I've got 16 on it right now, but 15's are literally what I've wanted for years. I'm gonna run 35x12.5r15 I was hoping someone had done it before

Nope, no dice. Not on a 4x4 since 88 or so I think.

15 is an illusion of safe. I grew up with the p-rated water balloons.

16 has plenty, (to this day it is the one of few in any size to have 3400 pound sidewalls)

Anyway, it is hardly noticable when going past 32 inch as 15 to 16 is over ruled by the big sidewalls.

Maybe I can find some thinner calipers online somewhere

I doubt it. I've never heard of such a thing, and even then they'd probably be hard to find.

There's no such thing. All aftermarket ones are basically remanufactured OEM ones. What is it that makes you want 15s so bad? Anything offered in a 15 will be there on 16s too.

My dad had a 96 2500 Suburban and he had American Eagle Alloys on it & the ones I have now are identical. Imo less wheel more tire looks better. But what do I know, I'm just a Mexican red-neck! I'm running 35x12.50r15 General Grabbers red letters. Everyone has different views, if we all liked the same thing the world would be a weird place!
