Brake Caliper Fitment

[mtrevino92]

Good evening everyone.

I'm going with aftermarket wheels on my 2009 Tahoe, 24s to be exact. I want to upgrade the calipers with a set of 4-piston calibers I found on gmpartsdirect.com. Has anyone used these calipers? What modifications did you do in order to get them to fit?

Welcome to the forum from Oregon. Please post pics of your rig.

Hopefully someone here has done something like this and will help.


We recommend, except @Galante and @Rocket Man, that you put all your rig(s) info in your signature so we all don’t have to guess at year, make, model, engine size, trans, rear axle locker…….etc. While you may have posted pertinent info in your first post, you may forget to do it again and the info is needed by members that want to help. Makes it way easier on all members that attempt to help, to have that info right up front. It is also recommended that you take a pic of your RPO codes, on the inside cover of the glove box, and post that in your signature. Instead of posting the pic itself, you can download your pic to your computer, then right click on that pic and copy the link address and then paste that link address in the signature information. All this info will greatly help those that will try to help with a problem.


If there is any other info, like upgrades, mods or recent mechanical/maintenance work done, that would be helpful in any post as well. Too many times a question is asked by the poster and after about 10 responses we find out that the poster has done recent work to attempt to fix the problem or work that was done that SEEMS not related to the problem.

Take note that there have been many recent complaints about gmpartsdirect not shipping, canceling orders, very poor or nonexistent customer service, etc.

edit I take that back, maybe they are interesting I see someone used them on a sierra

after reading the experience with these on another forum it appears the biggest issue is wheel compatibility, the calipers will protrude outward so the wheel needs to have space to clear, see attached photo

You think the protruding issue will exist with 24 inch wheels/tires?

You think it will happen with 24s

I don't know that's why I posted the photo lots of wheels are designed different you might want to stick a flashlight down in yours and check the clearance like the photo above
