Need help on wheel spacers!

[sncourtesy]

I have a 22 Yukon 2wd. I put some replica gm 22’s with a +24 offset . Itsjust barely hitting the caliper in front. What size spacer would you recommend? Dont want to go too far .. It looks like i need a 1/8 th of inch to .25 inch max to clear it… Just wanted to get some input from anyone who is running them and what size you used.. If you have any pics could you post them? Thanks in advance..

I was told you need 10mm spacers.

This is why I didn't get replicas

I ended up going with a quarter inch wheel spacer (which comes out to 6mm) to clear the front caliper..

Well lets see some pics…

I did a 1 inch leveling kit and 22 Inch Machined Replica GMC wheel on a 305/45/22 tire with a quarter inch wheel spacer in front ( 6mm)

Looks sharp. Why spacers on the front only?

The replicas seem to be rubbing the brakes of the new rigs.

Only needed them in the front to clear the brake calipers.. spacer measures out to be 6mm which is all that is needed....Rear doesn't need them

Ps the truck looks sharp

This doesn't entirely make sense, meaning why are replicas hitting the calipers at +24mm offset? Aren't the stock 22's +28mm offset, thus being the back of the hub is 4mm further away from the centerline of the wheel, making the wheel face tuck in towards the caliper? So shouldn't a +24mm offset wheel provide more room against the caliper? Does it depend on certain types of replica wheel styles?

I can't speak from personal experience on the reps but its possible that the 24 offset that sticks out 4mm more has spokes that come back in and thus rub the caliper or other suspension components. Maybe just not perfectly matching replicas.

Not sure. Like I said this is one reason why I got OEM wheels so I don't have to worry about this stuff

I agree, sure seems like the wheel is 4mm further away.
