SS - Winter 18" Rims - New brake pads won't fit
HEADS UP - Ordered tires and 18" rims for the winter from The Tire Rack but they have been informed of a "in production" brake pad change that may cause your 18" rims not to fit when you have to get new pads. Anyone else heard of this? Appears Brembo and Chev have made an on the fly change and now the new pads are larger and won't clear 18"rims! They were going to ship my tires but stopped yesterday until they figure out what is going on. Appears new weights will be added to the brake pads which cause it to extend even further than the weights which are are the Brembo Calipers now.
This only effect the SS with Brembo brakes. |

Yea there is another post with a pic of the pads on a dealer lot car. They do stick out about a inch or so above the caliper. Those are only on very very high vins.
