I agree - I always laugh when I see a SUV with big rims and stock size brakes. They look like little doughnuts and pathetic really

I'm in the same position as the poster, minus the budget. What about brembo brakes?

What oversized rotors would you recommend for a 2008 suburban?

73shark, Mad Dawg and the other poster are right, get the bigger diameter rotors. I tow with stock LTZ 20" wheels (2006) and I should get bigger rotors all around. I would not go with any larger wheel without first upgrading the rotors to larger diameter. How about bigger brakes and smaller wheels?
