tire size for escalade wheels please help

I was wondering what size tire you hardbody and mazda guys run on your escalade wheels. I went to go get 245/45 yesterday at discount tire because thats all we have and first they argued with me saying that the wheels wouldnt even fit my hardbody and then they argued saying that i would have to go with at least a 265 because "thats what the escalade had on them from the factory." i told him this aint factory. so please help thanks in advance

i have 215/45/17s on mine and look awesome. i went with the 45 series for a lil more rubber since i was delivering pizza in it at the time, and im gonna set it up for 18s witht he new frame.

most ppl run 205/40, 205/45, 215/40 though.

oh, and most places are gonna give you a hard time about putting lo-pros on eskies, for whatever gay reason. just when you get your tires on, roll by there with them on the truck and say, "Boyaa bitches!"

Think mine are 205/40 on my Mazda. Wish I had a little more rubber, but they're alright and still look good.

Go with 40's if lowered or bagged.Otherwise,45's are ok.Smaller always looks better.

215/45/17 better for a daily dragger.

its a nut hair different in a 215/40/17 and a 215/45/17.. go with the 45 for a better ride.. i have 215/40's and i hate em

thanks guys, thats what i was going to go with was a 215/45 and he said anything smaller than a 255 would be to narrow for those wheels. so i told him that it had been done and he said to double check with yall because yall didnt know what yall were talking about. *(yall being minitruckers with eskies)*

eskie rims are 7" wide.. that is the smallest width of a 17.. so it would be made for the smaller 205-215-225-235 tires.

your tire guy is a dumbnut.
