Do 17 inch dually rims clear the calipers on a srw with just a 1.5 inch spacer on the inside??

I'm sure they will my truck has stock 16s on it.

I don't see why they wouldn't. I have 16s and they clear after I did some brake line work. That's radial I mean, idk axial they clear the leafs or whatever.

16" real wheels with 8" bs fit na srw hub with minimal grinding caliper, 1.25" spacer

depending on the tire. we ran 33/12.50 on 17" gm dually wheels, a 3" spacer on the hub put the tire about 1/2" from the leaf spring.

I tried a 16 for kicks today with a 1.5 inch spacer and it looked like the caliper was holding it out pretty good.

I tried a 16" rim with a 3" spacer then the 16" rim and it still hit the caliber.

Yes, on a stock wheel. A stock GM steel dually wheel needs a big spacer, around 3".

That's the same thing I have as the end result. 7 inch bs with 1/4 spacer. Probably better off your way as I needed custom wheel studs due to lack of thread engagement.
