I just ordered a set of 20x10's for my 1996 and was wondering if any of you have a similar set up? If so do you have some pics? Here is a picture of them:



I'm going with some 275/55's for now but in the spring some 33 or 35x12.5's Swamper Irok's are in order!

IMO those wheels don't look good on our trucks. These are real trucks not escalades. Just MO though.

 

That's what I used to think and I kind of expected a few replies like yours but a set of 20's with some 35" mud tires on them is NOT the type of thing you'd see on an Escalade .

John,
I'm running 18's on a set of 35" BFG MT's, I think they look great I'm sure the 20's will look good to. Ya gotta go with some Mt's
Got pics in my gallery

 

Can you get 35 inch mud tires in a 20 inch rim size?

 

Yeah, Interco makes the Irok Radial in 33", 35", 36", 39.5", and 41":



Nitto makes 33", 35", 37", and 38":



I got 3-275/55/20's Goodyear LS's with 1000 miles on them for free so I only had to buy one more (found another slightly used one for $100 shipped on ebay). They are about a 32"x11" so they'll work for now. Once the tax return check comes I'll probably order either 33" or 35" Irok's since the Nitto's are over $300 each . I had 35" SSR's with a 3" lift on my last CTD and they worked out nicely. The only problem is that this truck has 3.55's while the last one had 4.11's so I may end up going with 33's and no lift.

I'll think they'll look good. I've always liked the "Coin Slot" look the mid to late 90's Ford trucks used.

 

I have seen a bunch of 20's on show trucks with big mud tires and they look realy good. As lok as you don't go with some lo-profile tires they will look fine. I want to put on the 22.5 semi tires on my truck. that looks awesome.

check my gallery, I am running 20 inch rims with irok 33 13.50 tires. Take my advice try a different tire, I hate them!!!!! they are very noisy, and they are wearing really fast, I might get 20,000km out of them. The next set that I will look at will be either Toyo open country mt's or Bf Goodrich all terains.

 

I've seen two trucks round here over the weekend with 20s and balonney skin tires They looked so F-n ridiculous!!!!! monster sized rollers with 2" of sidewall , I kinda wanted to force them over to the side of the road just to see what would happen when they contact the curb

 

actually i see that kind of combo on a lot of escalades, denalis and other pretty boy chevy's around here. usually proof that the only offroading they do is driving on the shoulder of the road, at 2 mph. occasionally they get a little crazy and go drive in the grass(the mowed, lawn type grass)

nothin looks better on the 2nd gens than black steel and a big tire! low profile sidewalls on big mud tires looks dumb IMO...but i guess if you're never going to offroad it and want somethin that blings and does nothing else then 20's are for you.

 

A friend of mine put a set of black and chrome 20s on some terragrapplers on his powerchoker and it looks sweet.

 

once you go over 18 inch rims you lose your load bearing, you now have the load bearing of a minivan tire....found that out when I went to get rims, instead just ended up with my nittos, very nice tires IMO
