kdkg Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Getting motivated on the truck and found a great great deal on some escalade wheels. They are only 16" wheels but that will be ok since I got some decent performance tires 225/60/16 tires to put on them. I was running the tires on a Range Rover before and it cornered great with them. Did a trial fitment on the rear. Have to get some spacers to clear the e-brake cable. Here is what the wheels look like (just like these plus dirty film.) Quote Link to comment

kdkg Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Mine is kinda a all mixed up on the drivetrain, so I don't know if it is a 76 rear end or not. I have only tried the left rear and the wheel hits the EB cable. Plus the tires would rub the springs. So a spacer should do fine for both. I haven't tried the front end yet. I don't plan on lowering mine anytime soon so I should have plenty of space for the wheels/tires to stick out some. It sits pretty high in both the front and the rear. If I don't have to use spacers in the front, I won't mind the front and rear having two different widths. Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Those are the good escalade wheels. The other ones are ok enough but those rock! I know where theres a mazda with the other style for $200 but I dont want the mazda...at all. Quote Link to comment
kdkg Posted November 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 (edited) Picked up some 18" titans this evening as well. Those wheels are huge. Leaning towards the 16" Escalade wheels right now. The house, I picked them up from, was for sale. Just a few thousand less than 1 million. Young guy too. Wanted to ask him what he did for a living but didn't. He had nothing but new Nissans in the garage. Edited November 21, 2008 by kdkg Quote Link to comment
