i just brought a set of 17" escalades from ebay for $42.00.... yes $42.00
there not the chrome ones, but for $42.00 you cant beat it.

now my question is what tire size can i run on these? I am not doing a body drop or anything crazy like that. I just want to lower it maybe 2"-3" all around.
i have been looking at different sizes but dont know which would look good.
i was thinking maybe a 225-55-17

It has 3" blocks out back with one leaf removed. The caps are the plain Z71 caps available on eBay. They are a tight fit, but look cleaner than the stock Caddy caps IMO. Good score on yours!

are they the 16" Z71 center caps? i see a bunch of those on there.
most of them are aftermarket, are those the ones you got?
any modify i need to do?
they are more than what i payed for the rims....lol

Yeah they are the aftermarket 16" ones. They are kind of tight to get on, but if you take your time and use a flat screwdriver they will go on nice and snug.

The plain ones that were on the wheels when I got the truck had a few teeth popped off, so I don't know if someone did that to make them easier to get on or what, but with a little patience you can get them on there with all of the teeth in tact!

wow...what a steal....as for tire size it all depends on how low a profile you want. I run 205/40/17 tires on my 17 Yukon wheels ( which are basically identical to your Eskies ). Its just a matter of preference
