Lookin good Russ! Got mine on tonight. The 22 with Bridgestone Dueler h/l Alenza were 86 lb. Stock 20 Denali wheels with same tire were 80. The stock 20 tires have less than 1000 miles on them.

Teaser from the garage, I will get better pics this weekend that are not crappy phone pics. Have to do the tpms relearn Yet too. Chrome looks pretty good, I hope it holds up. I bought some factory silver center caps to replace the red letter ones And used the 1.4" gorilla lug nuts.

Y'all looking good in your 156's!!

 

[guy from norcal]

looking good guys

 

[Rmayrap]

Thanks guys I'm pretty happy with them. Only complaint I have is the offset is 31 on these wheels vs et24 on most OEM 22's. Anyone ever run spacers on their truck? I think a 10mm spacer all around would make it look even better.

Wait..... you're saying offset is different on replicas vs. OEM on the same version of the wheel?

 

[08grey]

31 is typical gm offset.

 

[Rmayrap]

The new escalade wheels are et24 as I have seen plenty of pics on eBay showing the back of the wheel. I'm pretty sure a lot of the new 2015 wheels that gm released are et24 as well. Maybe the older models were et31?

Got some more pics?

These could possibly change everything I'm thinking about doing.....

so get some pics lol

 

[08grey]

I have 2015 escalade wheels and they are 31. Guess it depends on the wheel.

 

[Rmayrap]

Yea maybe, et24 looks much better I think.

Do they even sell wheel spacers for these trucks?

You would need longer lugs?

Here are a few more with the camera. One correction on an earlier post, the rep 22's were 83.6 lbs mounted not 86. The stock 20's with Bridgestone Alenza 275/55 were 80 lbs on the nose. So, only about 4 lbs difference between them.

Here are a few pics, only got to drive it a few miles and no highway yet. No discernible difference in ride quality. However, it does not feel as top heavy, which is very welcome. I noticed no difference in braking yet and no issues getting moving. My truck has the 3.42 gears so it jumps when you tap the gas to get going! Yes, the rig needs a wash and wax and the tires need some shine, but its not even above freezing right now.

I added stock GMC center caps.

 

[CHOO CHOO]

Nice!

 

[Goodinblack]

Are you still happy with the ride quality? Are you riding at the stock height?

I'm thinking of going with the same setup on my 07 Denali XL, but not sure if I should go with 20" instead since it's a daily driver with a lot of long weekend road trips.

Is the 285/45/22 the equivalent to 275/55/20?
