Tony, you have a link?

Btw, I don't think the OE lug nuts use all of the thread anyway, because when the 1/2" spacers are added the lug nuts don't stick out further than without the spacers. Which means the lug nuts are still using all of their threads. When I look right now to the front and rear lug nuts they end exactly at the same point relative to the wheels.

Can you please post a picture of you stranding right atop the fender?

I am serious.

My rear wheels sit in too. I wish they did sit out closer to the fender. I thought about a spacer before.

Thanks

Sure I'll do it tomorrow ... but if you have less than 295 tires and more than a 30 offset it will likely not be enough to make much of a difference.

Truth is this is best addressed with offsets anyway and I'd rather not run any spacers at all ... but 1/2" slide in spacers are not that egregious.

Yup, I was actually shocked the first time I saw how thin the Escalade acorn lug nuts are. The ones for mine (and all GM accessory 22" wheels) are much bigger..

Love the attention to detail. What lugs are the right ones for the gm 22 wheels btw. I hate my lugs and need a new set.
