Default Heavy duty 2 pistons front brakes on cheapest CVP + winter rims info

I got 2014 Caravan Canadian Value Package and surprisingly it has Heavy duty 2 pistons front brakes inside 17" steel rims.

It is Impressive brake performance but no possibility for "minus size" winter tires/rims.
Also regular(for SE/SXT/CVP) 17" steel rims do not fit properly - the brake caliper touches the rim. You have to order rims for Crew/R/T models.

I believe same situation is with AVP.

Most Canadian tires/rims retailers(CanTire, Costco) use rims from Macpek.
The correct part number for Caravans with HD Brakes is 44753 only!!!

That is great pictures. I haven't seen the brakes on the 2014 yet, But I think that will help with the brake wear problem that dodge has had.
