22" or 24" - 12/4/2006 7:32:45 PM    phyunescalade   Posts: 4 Joined: 12/4/2006 Status: offline looking to get some aftermarket wheels, maybe TIS, or Dforged rims... Need some feedback on which size to go with...24" def look nice 26" would be too big and too thin...but i hear 24" the ride is really rough and high chance of rim getting bent. and I hear 22" are the ride is better but it def doesn't look as great as the 24"...

I'll meet him on thursday, I'll post some pics of his wheels.  (in reply to phyunescalade) Post #: 4

I'm glad I have 22's with a 305/45/22 series tire. I don't think a 305/45/24 will fit on an Escalade without installing a lift kit, and I don't really want a 35 series tire for 10 hour touring. So I guess it's all about your use of your vehicle as well. If you don't take your Escalade on 10 hour run-aways, 24's may sound great. (in reply to hagrid) Post #: 5

It rides as well with the 24 as with the 18"s. Even the 24's look small in the wheel well. Thinking about dropping it a few inches now. (in reply to Jordan00Escalade) Post #: 6

Check in to lowering before you do it regarding warranty. Someone told me it will void it, check with your service  manager.  It will also affect the ride, maybe better, maybe worse, but it won't be the same. Nice lookin ride.

Yes, i will definitely will say that you have to be extra alert of pot holes and anything in the road but that is the price you pay to roll Big!

I got them for $2100 wholesale, I couldnt see the point in spending $3500 for wheels and tires. 22"s make the truck/SUV look more 'sporty' rather than "pimped out", but with flashy chrome people still stare. My EXT is about performance than looks so I you feel like dropping the dough then go with 24's. p.s I have 305/40's and they rub in a hard turn but worth it. pics to come soon (in reply to phyunescalade) Post #: 10
