Well, that Escaladed quickly!

Please use et lugs. I used that in my truck. 1/2 less lug contact I didnt like

Tony, you have a link?

Btw, I don't think the OE lug nuts use all of the thread anyway, because when the 1/2" spacers are added the lug nuts don't stick out further than without the spacers. Which means the lug nuts are still using all of their threads. When I look right now to the front and rear lug nuts they end exactly at the same point relative to the wheels.

Can you please post a picture of you stranding right atop the fender?

I am serious.

My rear wheels sit in too. I wish they did sit out closer to the fender. I thought about a spacer before.

Thanks

They d9nt but if you lose thread in a 6000 pound truck id rather get the et lugs and get more bite back

Sure I'll do it tomorrow ... but if you have less than 295 tires and more than a 30 offset it will likely not be enough to make much of a difference.

Truth is this is best addressed with offsets anyway and I'd rather not run any spacers at all ... but 1/2" slide in spacers are not that egregious.

They all sit in rear

My lugs are dufferent because you have sunken holes

 

[soulsea]

Yup, I was actually shocked the first time I saw how thin the Escalade acorn lug nuts are. The ones for mine (and all GM accessory 22" wheels) are much bigger..

Love the attention to detail. What lugs are the right ones for the gm 22 wheels btw. I hate my lugs and need a new set.

[Smokymance]

Lugs can make or break the look of nice wheels. My Foose 22" rims on the AV look great, but the lugs sucked, so spending a few extra bucks for decent lugs made a big difference.

Bad asss

Looks great man!

Okay so I'm at the shop ... I decided to replace the 1" spacers with 1/4" spacers, cut a bit off of the links and bump stops, and now she sits exactly where I want her at a hair under 35" in the back. I'm guessing/hoping the ride quality will stay the same.

If not take it back to stock, sell it, and start all over again

did you happen to know what your link length is, either from ball stud center point to center point or over all length of the link and end caps?

 

[GalaxyBlackEsky]

Lets see pics. Also let me know how it rides. Where did you get the 1/4 spacer?
