Brembo Brake Upgrade. WARNING

[AWSMBLU]

Hello
I had The Brembo upgrade done to my 2015 Yukon Denali. Loved the Brakes and stopping Power. Warning I had a flat tire right front from a nail. The Spare tire WILL NOT FIT OVER THE Brembos. Had to swap back w front and put spare on the rear. Will be getting a bigger rim on the spare. I have the 22s

Thanks for the warning. Does a full size spare fit under the truck? I mean exact same diameter as well as width?

It was the standard full size spare. Steel rim

Right, I'm asking if a matching wheel and tire will fit in the spare carrier as opposed to the reduced width spare that comes with the vehicle.

A stock size tire on a stock 22" wheel should fit. On the GMT900, they had a different hoist for the 22" wheel. Take an existing wheel and winch it up and see. The Brembos need a 20" and larger wheel if memory serves. Regardless, it's always a good idea to carry an old school plug kit and even a can of fix-a-flat. In addition to those and the spare, we also carry an air compressor.

You can get a Nissan Armada 20” wheel (has the same bolt pattern and required offset). Mount a 275/55 tire and you will have a good spare combo.

I visited my Gmc Dealer today. Was show Gms answer to the issue. A TSB that it requires a 2 tire swap in order to fix, Back to front. My biggest complaint and will be calling to file one, No where on there accessories or Ordering Vehicle website are you given any information when making your purchase. GM Needs to add a statement or pop up box that informes folks before making your decision to order.

Straight from Brembo's website when they made the announcement about teaming up with GM on Big Brakes for these trucks:

The Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade System fits vehicles optioned with 20 or 22-inch wheels, EXCEPT the SEU option wheel. This product does not void the new vehicle limited warranty when installed by an authorized dealer.

Brembo Performance Brake Upgrade System part numbers:
· Chevrolet - 84263234
· GMC - 84263235
· Cadillac – 84263236

So if they say it fits vehicles with 20" or 22" wheels, I know I would have enough common sense to know the Brakes aren't going to clear a smaller diameter wheel.

Definitely an oversight - but even when I did my Wilwoods, I knew the spare wouldnt fit, requiring a 2 wheel swap. Likewise with my lift, a 17" spare wont clear the spindle. While I dont agree with it since its a GM part, I highly doubt they will do anything about it.

I have an oem 22" GM wheel and a 285/50/22 (33.27x11.69) Toyo ridge grappler for my spare

Hello does it fit in place underneath of the regular spare?

Sure does, no modifications either

My GM dealer said it wouldn’t fit

 

[Mad Maxx]

That's a Nitto Terra Grappler tire, not a Toyo Ridge Grappler, which doesn't even exist.

As you can see from my Avatar, the previous owner of my Z-71 Tahoe put a seven-spoke wheel on the front passenger tire (I am not sure why, but if you look at the step bar on that side it is bent too).

I got a six-spoke wheel and had them mount a 22 inch spare the same diameter as the stock 17 spare (I think it is a 255/45R22. However, from what I am reading the hole in the OEM wheel may not be sufficient to accommodate the hoist? Is that correct?

I see the pics with the black wheel above...can I flip my spare to face up and protect it or is there something under the back that might scratch it? Can someone please show me some pics?

Also, I read something this from a GM website:

"1/2 ton, with 22 wheel. Spare Wheel Hoist Package - For Use With 22in Wheel Only. A Spare Wheel Hoist Package is required when installing 22-inch wheels on a full-size SUV that has not come from the factory with this size wheel. The hoist holds up the spare tire beneath the SUV and is capable of handling the additional loads put on your vehicle when 22-inch wheels are installed.


Thank you,

Tom

When I got this upgrade to my Callaway Tahoe there were warning labels everywhere saying the standard spare will not fit over the GM Performance/Brembo calipers. Many owners have upgraded to a larger wheel spare and it still fits in the stock location

^ yup. i have a 22" transit wheel for my spare
fits fine, no issues

The winch/hoist for the spare utilizes the center of the wheel for leverage - any 16"-22" rim that has our bolt pattern is going to fit under the truck. You remove the wheel's decorative center cap to mount onto the hoist.

Tire size - I'm pretty sure the spare tire can go all the way up to 34" diameter without rubbing any underside components. I'm running an 18" spare wheel with 34.25" diameter tire. At the moment, need to trim a little piece of plastic so that I can get my rear hitch cover to lock in place. Currently, the 295/70r18 spare is touching the plastic clip for the cover.

Yes - you can use a 22" wheel with your choice of tire as a spare. If you get the exact wheel and tire as your existing 4, you can have the spare move into the tire rotation as well...
