I am not a professional. This video is for entertainment purposes only. I am not sponsored by any company mentioned in this video. I did this install based on my own research and used my own money to purchase the products.
I found wheel clearance issues after I upgraded to the S10 Blazer dual piston brakes. I didn't see this issue when I originally installed the S10 Blazer brakes. I am not sure if this affects G Body cars or not, but I wanted to get my results and fix posted as soon as I found this clearance issue. The parts I used are listed below and as always thank you for watching and click that subscribe button if you found this information useful or like the content that you see.

Nice fix but a lot of wheels will clear with no problems enjoy your videos thanks

@dtperformance256 Год назад

@allen cobbs good to know!! Thanks for commenting! I was curious why there weren’t a video or more discussion on this issue yet.

@stevea6722 Год назад

If you run NHRA sanctioned events you may need those open end lug nuts to pass tech.

@dtperformance256 Год назад

@Steve A thanks for clarifying! I was wondering that and that is why I kept the open end lug nuts. I read that if you use a spacer NHRA requires that you lengthen the stud the same amount. I kept the open end lug nuts to show the lenght of lug nut that I have installed. Thanks again for the comment!!!

As an update to those wanting these spacers, they are not available in 6mm anymore. You can get 3mm or 5mm now.

@yourpcmd Thanks for sharing my friend!! Many thanks for the views, comments, and the Super Thanks!! Much appreciated brother!!

Different wheels with different offsets will clear the caliper bracket with ease. Of course not everyone is able to get a set of different wheels but i think it's the best solution so one does not have to improvise lol.

@dtperformance256 Год назад

@T0712096 agree but it was cheaper for me to get spacer than new wheels this time. Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching!!

@yourpcmd Год назад

Good tip. Just ordered a set of spacers because they only had 3 sets in stock.

@dtperformance256 Год назад

@Your PCMD I am thinking I will order a set of 1/2” spacers to have on hand to give me a little more clearance. I don’t know why. I like a little extra room I guess.

@garypease7414 Год назад

Little secret about the original lugnuts, if your studs are shorter than your studs, the end caps pop off letting the stud extend past the end of the nut. FYI

@dtperformance256 Год назад

@garypease7414 Thanks! I had one push the end off of a lug nut one time and wondered if that was part of the design. Thanks for watching and the comment!

@ronnelson7828 Год назад

Grinding a little bit off of the abutment bracket where it scrapes the rim would be my low cost solution. Free!

@dtperformance256 Год назад

@ronnelson7828 I thought about that, but I am an overthinker and thought “what if” the wheel bearing wears later will it damage the wheel? Would I compromise the strength of the abutment bracket? So…….. I over engineered a solution. Crazy I know, but I wanted a repeatable, “bolt on” solution. Thanks for watching and the comment!!

I think that's the rotor for the front.. maybe wrong but maybe

@BowtieMarco 6 месяцев назад

Great video tho!!

@dtperformance256 6 месяцев назад

@BowtieMarco it is the front rotor. It was rubbing my Weld wheel. Have you ever seen that before? That is why I used the spacer. It was crazy. I have never seen that before. And thank you! Thanks for watching and commenting!!

Everybody I see do this upgrade on a g-body never use the backing plate/ dust cover & they didn’t have that problem 🤷🏽‍♂️

@dtperformance256 11 месяцев назад

@shadetree5346 I have never installed Weld wheels on an S10 Blazer but I would have expected the fitment to have clearance. I see Blazers all the time with Weld wheels. I tried researching this and I am not sure why my wheels were touching on the back. It was an odd thing and this was my solution. Wanted to share the video in case someone else had seen this as well. So far I haven’t had anyone else say they had the same issues that I had. Maybe they have and just aren’t commenting. This fixed my issue but it it still odd to me that I even had an issue. Thanks for watching and the comment.

Bigger rim than 17 or different type of rim

@dtperformance256 13 дней назад

@emozburnes1733 I have been thinking about some 17’s. That would for sure work. I would also like to upgrade brakes later on too. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@Air-ei9qb 4 месяца назад

Use a spacer.

@dtperformance256 4 месяца назад

@Air-ei9qb Correct ….I had to use a spacer. Thanks for watching and commenting!

Great detailed video.. I did this brake upgrade to my gbody a while back and good thing I haven’t really driven it yet.. I always thought the front wheels had a tad bit too much drag for my liking and now u confirmed my suspicions.. I’m gonna go ur route to remedy it.. u earned my subscription! 🫡

@dtperformance256 9 месяцев назад

@nitomeanbodyGBODY. Hate that you had the issue but glad the video helped. I had not heard of anyone having scrubbing but it was obvious when I took the wheel off the caliper bracket was touching a little. I really appreciate the sub and the comment for sure!!

@nitomeanboyGBODY 9 месяцев назад

@@dtperformance256 I believe that it’s so minimal most don’t bother. But I knew I couldn’t be crazy to think it.. but because I hadn’t heard anyone else complain I just figured maybe the slight drag was just the hubs natural design. But now i know better from the light u shed on it!

@dtperformance256 9 месяцев назад

@nitomeanboyGBODY I can’t live with that kind of stuff. Drives me nuts.
