I have a 95 chevy K2500. I pulled the old rotors and transferred the hub to the new rotors. Then I reinstalled those along with new pads and calipers. There is no clearance between the caliper the the rotor edge. Any idea what would cause this other than the parts are incorrect from the store?
 
Measure the old rotors and see if the new ones are the same diameter.

We have 1500, 2500, and 3500 to choose from. The 2500 means nothing for brake parts as GM used systems from 3500 on 2500 etc. The difference is weight on the door jamb 8600 being a "heavy" 3/4 ton or singled out 1 ton. 6 or 8 lug also makes a difference. 1500 and 3500 are just as mixed up. Then you get to the rear drum size and that can make a difference on the front brakes equipped...

What store did you get them from? You may need to look it up differentially or go to a different store. Dealer prices for rotors are not too bad and you get the right parts.

Rotors can't be mistakenly interchanged between models unless the 8 bolt rotor on a 3500 is bigger dia than the 8 bolt 2500 .
1500 is 5 bolt
2500 can be 6 or 8 bolt.
 
brake troubles

I Have a 2005 z71 1500 sierra 6 bolt that I just replaced the calipers rotors and pads. And for the first time in my life I have the same problem. There is no inside clearance between the caliper bracket and the rotor. I should say very little clearance. when you make a left turn the right side rubs the pad bracket (clip that holds the pad).till you brake or turn the wheel straight.
Got me wondering..... I travel and this truck has 300,000 miles on it. I have done several brake jobs on it, and never had a problem. already checked to see if they gave me the wrong rotors, they said they are right. Any help would be great thanks Pop
