Ok so we all know people like to put big flashy rims on these bad boys... I am looking to buy an 07 Escalade Ext... I have a few questions and would greatly appreciate some advice.. I currently own a z71 tahoe and looking for something I can get more use out of...

1. Have any of you seen one with a lift kit with 33 inch tires on it?? That is what I would be doing to it...

2. Is the bed big enough to carry around my Dirt bike, ATV, Harley?

3. If you have seen one lifted or currently own a lifted escalade ext or regular escalade i would love to have more info..

Thanks for the help, this is my first time posting on here...

The 305/30/26 tire is a 33.2" tire for my 26" rim. Here is the leveling kit on my EXT. These are my summer rims and tires and I didn't have to trim anything in the sidewall.

I have a set of 33" Toyo Mud Tires coming for a 22" rim and these will have a little different offset and stick out an inch further, so with that in combination with the more aggressive tread, I'm going to have to do some trimming. I talked to a local shop that sounds like they'll do a nice job as they explained the process and how they actually reattach the fender liner further in the wheel well. If you try to get a rim with a negative offset, I'm told you will have to do a LOT of trimming because the front wheel wells are so narrow in comparison to other trucks. A 35" wheel with a negative offset had to go up 9" and they still had to do a lot of trimming on an 09 Silverado. So, basically what I'm saying the tires will fit, but you'll have to trim and you have to make sure to get a rim with a positive offset unless you're looking at a 4" Rancho or a 6" Fabtech maybe. I searched and searched for pics of an EXT done right like that and came up with nothing. The majority I saw went all out with 12" lift kits and huge tires...

I am not putting them on for another month or so though when the snow starts coming down. I also need to get the clear bra on there before then too. I'll get some pics up when I do.

Wow that looks nice.. I wanna see what it looks like with the big wheels.. take a look at this one.. Im not sure how to attach picturners on here.. .53432

haterinc,
I just thought that I would revisit this thread and see if you have put the new wheels on.

Those tires look too small, but nice otherwise.
