Clean07burb, That esky is not mine. I do want to lower mine almost as low as that but im afraid ill smash my fenders. I am running 305/35/24 for tires and the color is called stealth gray.

Mines not quit as low as the one in your pic but I would like to go a little lower then it sits now but also dont want to hurt ride quality.

I think the Esky in the pic is on bags. Just a guess, though. Thanks for the tire size. How bad does your rub, if at all?

Oh, and don't remove the roof rack! Not on an Esky. Looks too classy with it. I swapped mine out FOR an Esky rack. Just my opinion, but I love them. :)

So we're up to nine votes for TBSS and only two votes for 375's! Surprising!

35 tire height will vary slightly by brand. Do your research first.

Cool. Thanks for the tip, man. I'd more than likely go with Nitto NT420's. I love my current Toyo Proxes STII's, but it doesn't look like they're made in a 295/35/24, unfortunately. The only other tires I've found in 295/35/24 are some cheap ass brands like Lionheart, Lexani, etc., so it looks like the Nitto's would be my best bet for a high quality tire.

Just get a really nice quality wheel like a Concavo

:)

Yeah, yeah! I've really got my heart set on another set of reps, just BIGGER.

I liked my Lexani tires. They were good.

I know a lot of people run the Lexani tires, I just assumed it was because they were a cheap tire. I could be wrong, though.

TBSS reps all the way. CK375's are everywhere! However, if you decide to part with your 22's I'll take them off your hands for my winter set-up.

24s are heavy overall.

Only 24 said to be light is the DUB Future

TBSS look awesome on any nnbs
That's one Badass wheel! Damn things have been on back order since late may :(

You can count my vote based on what I bought. No brainer, but I am a bit biased. I like clean and simple. Only thing that would be better IMO is a 5 spoke. Less wheel = better look IMO.

My 24" TBSS wheels are more than a pound lighter than the 22" wheels that came on my truck. I do think the DUB future is about another pound off that. Of course weight follows my desire above in a wheel. Less metal also weighs less.

If your truck was lifted I'd do the CK's otherwise no.

As an aside, I would have bought the DUB's if they came in polished aluminum. They didn't and the color choices they do come in just don't work with all the fake ass crap chrome that GM puts on the Escalade so I had to get a chrome wheel. I orginally ordered the polished aluminum TBSS reps, but those didn't get made in the first run so I had to swap for chrome :(

Hey @scryfst, how you been, man? And I've got another guy interested in them if I do decide to let them go, but if things don't work out with him then you'll be my second call and they'll be yours. They'd actually make a really nice winter wheel set-up, especially on your Denali. Its such a beautiful color! They'd be a much better looking winter wheel than the PPV wheels I ran last winter! Lol. But at least that was before all the chrome when everything on my truck was still body color and they at least looked decent then.

Deephaven, I figured the TBSS reps were lighter than the CK375's, but I had no idea they were THAT light. So your 24" TBSS reps w/ tires are over a pound lighter than your 22" standard spoked style Esky wheels w/ tires were? I'm really surprised at that because those Esky wheels have some pretty thin spokes, but I guess they're seven spoked vs the six spokes on the TBSS reps so that one less spoke is probably where the weight savings is coming from.
