LTZ's or 22" Eskys on a NBS
Is anyone running 20" LTZ's 
or 22" Escalade  wheels on a NBS that has a 4-6 drop? My '02 has 18" Intros on it, but I really like the look of the LTZ's. I hate to buy a set of wheels and not know whether they will tuck in (with a shorter than factory tire of course) like my 18's do.
I'm almost sure I could run the LTZ's with a 275/45/20, but I thought I would check here to see if anyone has done this already with positive results. Any help would be great!

Re: LTZ's or 22" Eskys on a NBS
I've currently got a 3-6 setup, running the LTZ's, on a 265/45/20.

Any issues with rubbing, close to the fender lips, etc.? Got any more pics other than just your sig?

Re: LTZ's or 22" Eskys on a NBS
Here's my Escalade 22s with just a 2" drop in the rear. From the feedback I've been getting everyone says I'll rub with a 4/6 drop even on 285/35/22s. I wouldn't want to go any smaller on the tire than that. The current tires are 285/45/22.

Re: LTZ's or 22" Eskys on a NBS
Looks killer K5, but I think the LTZ's are the way I want to go. Now....anyone have a set of LTZ's they'd want to swap for my 18" Intros? It's worth a shot...

I'm not close to rubbing at all, when I eventually go to a full 4/6 it may be close in the front but I think it'll still work out good. Sorry my home internet is messed up right now, otherwise I'd post some other pics for ya. Using my work comp now and don't have access...

 I love your truck.
RAHN I think the LTZ will look great on that color.

Re: LTZ's or 22" Eskys on a NBS
I think so too UNCCHEVY. It's kind of a sedate/classy color. Just a touch of sporty w/the 20" LTZ's and it's a done deal. I like the Intros, they're just 2 sizes too small!
