Thanks bud! Running the blazer calipers on the rear with a good bit of grinding and the back spacing is 7.5". running stock 3.73's.

Cut a best of 1.49, avg 1.51-1.53 60's.

thanks for the intel man, one more thing. the blazer calipers u are running on the rear, did the silerado rotors, brake lines, and bolts for the calipers work or was there any other custom fabrication besides grinidng? and on the front i noticed u still rocked a 15" wheel, did u have to swap the front calipers out too?

S10 blazer calipers are direct bolt on from stock just grind em till they clear the wheels. Front 15s work as long as u have 99-04 brakes. Bigger brakes that 05 up have will require grinding or wheel spacer

FWIW, I ground my stock rear calipers down to fit the 15" wheel my slicks are one. Worked great and hasn't presented a problem since I did it 6 months ago.

Only issue is the banjo bolt won't clear for the deeper back spacing on stock calipers

Guys I want to fit some black 16s on my 2000 Silverado to make it look like a Nascar its disk brake whats the maximum width and what backspace I can run? If 15s are possible how much grinding the calipers it would need? Too much till the caliper is weak or just little? I tried the search and I found this topic all trucks been posted are amazing
