26's Rubbing BADDD

[CincinnatiZ]

Its a 08. Thanks for the responses guys. It just sucks because I work so freaking hard for this stuff and I just feel horrible. You guys are right I need to find out what these things fit - sell them - and buy some new rims...

Any ideas on how to find out what these rims fit? Im going to have my buddy bring his Navigator over and see if I can get one on there.

Thanks again guys. It means a lot to know that you guys are here to help me. This whole situation has me on edge.

I'd be pissed too....best lessons learned are the hard ones. You will know what to look for next time.

Here's a start with some common bolt patterns you can use to market the wheels, you need to get the bolt pattern. Are they 6 lug? Measure center of lug hole to center of another lug hole....the furthest two away from each other.

Sounds like you got a wheel adapter/spacer, which are not always safe for your vehicle (pushes the balance outside the fenders). Unfortunately like most have suggested, sell the wheels and make sure your new ones will have proper backspacing and offset.

I just did some quick research, you might have HUMMER bolt pattern:
6x135

Escalade Bolt Pattern Giovanna:
6x139

which is why it barely doesn't fit.....

its too bad cause those rims will look killer///

 

[nytahoe]

its prob for a ford. u can always get them drilled to fit.

 

[CincinnatiZ]

I was thinking about having them machined but wasn't sure if it was possible... Have you ever seen that done? Will getting them drilled result in a total of 12 holes? 6 old and 6 new? I guess its something to consider.

 

[nytahoe]

no they just open up the ones in the rims now.

You might be loosing the structural integrity of the rim bu drilling new holes.
