I aquired a set of wheels which look like escalade rims with P245/70R16 tires on them. Im thinking they are escalade rims, because of the cadillac center cap and the size of the tires but these rims have 5 lugs on them. Do they make 5 lug oem rims for escalades?

I'll post a photo of them tomorrow. noob question...Is it possible to use these P245/70R16 on my oem wheels I have on my yukon? Right now I roll on P265/70R16. Would I lose mpg or gain? consume more or less gas? Im asking, becasue these are barely used tires and thinking of installing them on my yuke oem 16 inch rims. Thanks in advance.

they are probably off of an srx or one of the cars. no 5 lug on the trucks.

 

your tire dia. will be much smaller with those tires. also, how wide are your wheels compared to the cadilac wheels?

The tires will look silly (in my opinion) on your Yukon, because they will be much smaller. However, you may gain a bit of MPG because there will be less rolling resistance. Your speedometer will be off with smaller tires, as well as the computer calculated MPG (if your vehicle has that). Also, the rims would be 6 bolt if they're from an escalade....so those are probably from one of those smaller suv/crossover jobbies.

 

If it were me, I'd sell the new rims and tires as a package deal....then put that money towards a new set of tires for the yukon

Here is the pic of the rims. The tires on the rims are 'Firestone Destination A/T tires. You guys maybe right of the crossover jobbie. The thing is that when I stand the tire right next to my stock ones already on my yuke..it looks basically the same. Its prolly taller due to my tire wear. I'll just use these new tires for about a year till i save enough cash to buy a REAL set...lol and sell these almost flawless caddy rims on craigslist for about a cool 4 bills.

That sounds like a plan. Just keep in mind....rolling a fully aired tire, without any weight on it...up next to a tire that's supporting the weight of a vehicle...may not give you an accurate comparision of the overall height.

Not looking like an Escalade wheel. When Escalade came out around 1999, it was based on the 1999 Yukon Denali, which were all 1998-previous trucks with a new nose on them. As far as I know, since the introduction of the Escalade, 1999-2012, they are all 6 lug.

 

As for the tires, should be around an inch smaller in overall diameter. A 245/75/16 would have the same overall diameter as a 265/70/16.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
