Do you need to change brakes and rotors if put 24 inch rims on your truck?

You don't *automatically* need to change your brakes and rotors when you put 24-inch rims on your truck, but it's highly likely. The larger diameter rims necessitate larger diameter tires. This increased tire size alters the braking dynamics, and often causes the brake calipers to be too close to or even contact the new wheels, posing the risk of:

* Caliper clearance issues: The larger tires and wheels might push the calipers against the wheel, preventing the wheels from turning.

* Brake rotor clearance issues: Similarly, the new wheels may interfere with the brake rotors.

* Potential for rubbing: This can lead to damage to the wheels, calipers, or rotors.

Therefore, while not a guaranteed requirement, it's very common to need to:

* Change the calipers: To ones designed for sufficient clearance with the larger wheels.

* Use different brake pads: These may be needed to complement the new calipers.

* Use different brake rotors: Potentially needed to ensure proper spacing with the new calipers and wheels.

Before installing 24-inch rims, you must check for clearance. It's best to consult a professional installer or your vehicle's manual for specific compatibility information. They can determine if modifications to your braking system are necessary to avoid damage and ensure safe braking performance.
