anyone running the new 18" wheels that come on the 2010 and newer silverados on a NBS truck? i have a 2000 ECSB 2wd and i feel like these wheels would be the perfect compromise between modern tires, and classy styling. i do a LOT of towing with my truck and i would like to do a brake upgrade. the 16" wheels on the truck currently are keeping me from doing such. what innexpensive brake upgrades are available for my truck? can i go with something from a newer truck? the ssbc stuff is nice, but pricey.

the wheels in question:



my truck:

 

No idea on the brakes...but those wheels would definitely look good with your truck, as it sits now.

 

with the old-man-two-tone paint job on my truck, i feel like there is is so many wheels that would just look out of place. when i saw these on a NNBS z71 i thought they'd look good on it.

 

you can run 2006 front brakes which use a larger rotor. I believe you need the caliper bracket and rotor, but possibly the caliper itself too, in which case you'd just buy loaded calipers. for the rear you can run a tahoe caliper which is dual piston.

 

is the tahoe rear caliper a direct bolt on or do i need a bracket change? get it for what, an 02+ tahoe?

for the fronts, if i go to the 06 or newer rotors and calipers, can i use my stock steering knuckle or do i need to upgrade to the newer knuckle? i haven't been under these trucks that often, can you tell? lol

man that's GREAT info!!! thanks so much! looks like i know where my part of the tax return will be going to!

ive always wondered how those would look on a lowered nbs

 

I think those wheels would work for sure with that paint job

Not sure it would be too great on a lowered nbs though garrett...
