    Default Nova gte/gsi calipers

    One of my calipers is sticky,they are standard delco gte items and I'm struggling to find a replacement.i can get later nova gsi ones no problem.i like to swap between standard three spokes and steels with gte trims occasionally so are there any clearance issues with the alloys as i knew there were different offsets?
    I'm Guessing the steels wouldn't be an issue anyway as they will clear both,if so i would just replace them with the gsi calipers.

    Think you'll be alright with both types of wheel, you'll need the carriers as they're different

    That might have to be the plan then,unless anybody has any tips or tricks on how to save the old delco numbers,pisses me off a bit as they were bought new/recon three years ago and wont have covered 1500 miles,probably just because it only gets used occasionally.

    No one like the delcos because they're prone to seizing
