2023 Calipers, Rotors Brakes onto 2015 Yukon XL

[NewbWrench]

Hello all. I found a set of 2023 Suburban brakes, rotors, and calipers that are brand new. I'm wondering if they'll swap onto my 2015 Yukon XL. Its about to be brake time and I might be hauling my wife's car for 1800 or so miles (07' STI) so I want to make sure I'm not worried about braking at all.

4 Piston Big Brake Upgrade from 2019-20

So I see guys on youtube doing this 4 piston upgrade from a 2019 silverado to their 00-06 silverado. Has anyone here tried this on the Tahoe? Should fit right? Seems pretty easy and straight foreward. Like $350 in parts. I would like bigger brakes.

If the latest gen brakes can be retrofitted to a GMT800 suv than I’d be willing to be they can be retrofitted to a K2 platform suv.

So it's not a direct swap?

I actually read through this a bit but it didn't really say that the '23 calipers, rotors, brakes were a direct bolt on swap without spacers. I have OEM 20s.

Well that’s because “technically” it isn’t a bolt on upgrade because of the washers. It’s not a cut and dry “here’s the parts slap them on and go” type of modification. Some trucks need the spacer washers and some don’t from what I understood after reading through that thread. It seems that the genera consensus is that needing the washers or not isn’t the same for all trucks.

Well today I gave it my best shot and I figured out that the calipers are so big that I'm going to need some kind of spacer underneath a wheel in order to get it to fit and not hit the rim.

What size wheel do you have and how big of a spacer?

And do you have any pics?

I’m guessing that situation presented itself due to offset of your wheel.

They're 22 inch GMC wheels but aren't the OEM wheels. It came like that. I'm guessing I need a 1/4 inch but I have to measure. The wheel wouldn't go back on because the calipers were too large.
