I got some 16" wheels to put on and they rub on the brake caliper. What is the easiest/cheapest way to be able to use these wheels? Whether it be replacing caliper or a spacer. It is just a factory set of wheels. Thanks.

Front disc calipers rub. The rear is drum brakes and they don't rub

I have a Tahoe and Silverado and the wheels are being swapped from one to another. The difference is one is four wheel disc and the other has drum rear brakes. So I was wondering if the caliper assembly could be swapped from one to the other. Don't know if the bolt patterns are the same. I don't really want to grind down on the caliper. But I don't know if the two would be a direct swap or not.

Is it the actual caliper or just the bracket that's rubbing? If it's the bracket, grind it, bro.
