07+ Brake upgrade on a 00-06 NBS, is it worth it?

will this upgrade work with stock rims? 16 or 17

I believe you need at least a 17” wheel.

Sam is correct. 17 minimum, so the only nbs stockers that work are Z71 snowflakes.

Ok thanks

I'd really like to get the ppv style. Silverados used them too.

Weren't those 16s, though?

You can get 17" ones. I have a set of 4 with caps and nuts that need a home. they are silver 7 spoke wheels.

Does that chrome pop off? If it does, what's underneath look like?

I would assume they are glued. Would be interesting to find out

Here is the nnbs CC 20's decladded. they look much better without the stupid cladding...

Like the ppv wheels but a silver finish, I think, might be black

What width are those rims? Can they be mounted on the spare tire holder?

OEM so likely 7.5 to 8" I'd guess.

I don't see why they wouldn't work with the spare tire holder

Don't forget about the spare wheel as well. It's 16" on GMT800, so you need to replace it as well
