OEM Escalade 22"s that is...

I know most everyone saw the lowering thread, but I couldn't stand the rims. So I went ahead and made the leap and purchased some OEM 22"s. They are 22x9 with a 285/45/22 on them right now. No Rubbing up front even in full turn. I think I may have to raise the front up a little bit. The rear has settled and is still about 2 inches higher than the front. Gonna try to get all 4 corners level a little bit later today.

Here's a few pics real quick, in the parking lot, just to see the stance and what it looks like. Sorry they are crappy cell phone pics...

Me Likey!!!!! Looks clean!!! I think the stance looks great and the only thing I would do is cut the stock exhaust pipe off so it dumps under the truck!! I did it to mine and it looks so much cleaner......My $.02 :Handshake:

Your exterior mods look pretty much complete!! Beautiful!

I like that man. Not that your old set-up didn't look good, but I think it looks a lot more clean and updated with these wheels. Good choice.

Wow 100x better. Just wait for the rear to settle a bit mine sits 1" higher out back with the 5.5"/5 or whatever when I had the 275/55/20s. 5/5 drop ftw!

Thanks for all the positive comments. I'm REALLY liking the way it looks now. It was ok stock, I liked it lowered on 20's, and I'm LOVING it how it is... I'm thinking this is the way it's going to stay for good.

Looks good. I want some cheap OEM cadi wheel just to have along with a set of 24s, so If I have a flat or whatever be the reason I can switch back and forth.
