isuzu hubs are hub centric so in order to get escalades to fit you'll need to grind down the tabs on the hubs. best way to do it is to pull the hubs, knock the wheels studs out and get to grinding. you'll have problems gettin your center caps to fit too but i haven't messed with that yet...im still rockin denalis without em.

ive got a set of 17in escalades and a set of 05 17in chevs i would like to sell. both sets have the center hole machined out so you dont have to grind on your hubs. the escas have new 205/40r17 tires that have less 2000miles on them. give me a offer.

you can run the center caps if you use a 1/4 inch spacer. you will need lug nuts that have a shank on them that goes through the hole in the wheel so you can get enough threads to hold it on safely.

I HAD TO MACHINE THE CENTER OUT BUT I DIDN'T HAVE TO USE SPACERS TO CLEAR THE WHEEL BEARING.ALSO COULDN'T YOU JUST USE A BIG ENOUGH SPACER TO CLEAR THE HUB AND THE WHEEL BEARING?

you do not have to run spacers, if you run spacers they will not tuck. gm wheels are so close to bed sides and fenders already if you run spacers they will not tuck.

I Dont have spacers on mine.

I did grind the hubs back like listed above. Thats the only way to make the wheels fit. Make sure that when you grind them back that each nub is equally grinded or your wheel will wobble. You can do it with a grinder but the best way is to have it machined.......mine is done with a grinder because im to pour to have it machined. It worked fine for me. Let me know if you need any help or pics...

Oh yeah, I have amigo fenders on the front of my truck so I can tuck my wheels, you might not be able to tuck with stock fenders.
