22s

[sky-raptor]

I want some 22s when I get my Denali, and I know I need new brakes. I heard that Powerslot with Hawk Pads is a pretty good set up. And I also heard that if I get the Brembo kit, I need to replace the spindles?

 

Help would be appreciated!

If I were you, I'd do a complete brake upgrade. On my 2000, I went with the Baer EradiSpeed Plus 1 Brake Upgrade kit. Of course, it all depends on what you want to spend. In the interest of safety, I'd spend a bit more on my brakes than on my wheels, IMHO.

Like others have said, a full brake kit is the only way to go if you want improved (over stock) braking performance, w/ or w/o larger (e.g., 22" or larger) wheels. However, for realized braking improvement w/ larger wheels, make sure you get a big brake kit which includes matching calipers; many times, folks will cut corners money-wise and just get the larger rotors and matching pads, but retain the stock calipers. By going this route, you are not maximizing the entire surface braking area of the larger rotors...make sure if you're gonna get larger rotors that you get the correct calipers to boot.

I agree on the big brake option as well. If you have the big wheels and the room, and the $$$ of course you might as well go big. Should see a significant braking improvement with bigger rotors, calipers, and pads. If doing that, include stainless brake lines for maximum benefit. With a nice big open wheel you also get to show off your hardware
