This is just my opinion, I would not put Escalade rims on my truck that would look funny to me. Cadilac rims on a Chevy truck unless you put an Escalade front end on there. That would be an exception.

I liked the way that the Esky wheels looked on my truck. But now I have a set sitting in my garage that I have been looking to sell. The only problem (although its not really a problem) is I want to sell the 255/60 Goodyear tires with them. All four still have about 75% tread on them. I will post pics in a little bit.

I run Continental 275/55/17 tires on my Escalade rims. They are shorter then stock and give me more "gear ratio" and lower ET's then stock. They also hook great!, even with the Yank converter. Here's what it looks like.

It should fit with only a 2 inch drop. But if you drop it anymore, you'll have to get a smaller tire.

You can get the plain flat caps off Ebay for $49 a set, but personally, I like the Caddy crest on mine!
