Brake Caliper HELP! Chevy Silverado 2005


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone this is my first post on here and I was not sure where to ask for advice so I just came on here. So, I recently bought myself a 2005 Chevy Silverado 5.3L V8, 4dr. Just a couple days ago I noticed some sort of rubbing going on underneath my truck. I looked under and saw this on my Front driver side wheel (1) That didn't look right so I looked at my other brake caliper on the other side of my truck and saw this (2) My brake caliper on my driver side wheel was rubbing against my rim. Like in between the rim and the brake caliper there is no room there so it is like forced to rub. I went to Autozone and bought a new brake caliper, but the one I bought was long enough to match both bolts in. They didn't have any longer ones in stock. I have looked through the internet and found a few brake calipers, but they all look different and I am not sure which one I should get or any recommendations?

Look at your tire size, 16 inch rims will rub.

Yeah, When I bought the truck the guy before me had those 16 inch rims on instead of 17. I have been looking into getting some 17 inch rims, but I am wondering why the other wheels aren't rubbing and why its only my driver side one

the rears can fit 15" wheels. The front require a 17" or larger. Why it is only one, can't explain that. Surf Craigslist. A couple years ago I picked up some 17" factory aluminum wheels with tires for $250
