for 20s I dont know, you'll need more height I believe, I'd say stock springs should help give the space needed. Why do you want to go 20s? You'd haev a better chance with 19s and keeping the s-techs.

20's look strange on max's, leave them for the Escalade owners.

If you want to do 20's go for it. I've seen them on a max and they fit with stock suspension I dont know about the S-Techs though.

i know it fits stock.....i would get 19s but they don't make them in 19 and im gettin the 20s cheaper than 18s so im gonna go with the 20s.....they are blk/gunmetal colored with a chrome lip and don't look like something you'd put on an escalade.....

An escalade on 20s will look like a max on 15s.

Can you give the specs of the wheel and tire?
wheel diameter, width, offset
and tire dimensions?
