Hey guys - Test fitting these Escalade wheels and my spindle makes it a bear to get on the center caps. I've seen other guys run these, wondering how they are keeping the caps on....thanx guys.

Hey man those wheels look amazing, i was thinking about getting those ones. Did you ever look at the 18" escalades like the 6 spoke or something? just curiouse if you knew if they work or not

yes they will work you need to get 1/4 inch wheel spacer and then make sure to get the right lug nuts they have to fit the wheel perfect i had put the GMC ones on my luv and i even had to cut the end of the spindle stud just a bit and the loose the dust cap or bang it in a bit ok i hope this helps

Thanks bud bondo, sounds like a plan. And ime guessing even with the 1/4 spacers the cadi's tuck in front huh?

Jeff, i would advise you resize your avatar, before you get voluntold to do so.

BTW, those wheels do look sweet, and I was thinking about how you got those on with the spindle, the dust caps have a lil room to be smushed in so you could get by with that, or dremeling just a bit of the plastic from the back of the cap w/o breaking through the metal overlay.

I etched out the front of the cap until you get to the aluminum, then cut off some of the spindle, haven't had no problems. Fit perfect, and tuck fine

Gotta fix that avatar, lol
