2022 Yukon SLT A/T Tires on 22” Wheels Without Lift?

I am looking to replace the factory Alenzas that came on my SLT with an AT style tire. I have the OEM 22” black Multi-Spoke Rims.

I live in the midwest and while the roads around here are usually decent in the winter, I’d like to get something with more traction in general, and a more aggressive look.

Do I have to stick with the 275/50 R22 or can I go a little larger without rubbing? I have seen some posts about using a 305 / 45 or similar on Denalis, not really sure what my options are with the SLT.

I’m looking at the BFG All Terrain T/A KO3, because they are 3-peak rated and come in that size, does anyone have experience with these? I had the Falken Wildpeak A/T3W on my old Tundra and was pretty happy with those.

Would love to see some pictures if anyone has done something similar without a lift.

Defenders or not aggressive enough?

The BFG AT has a good reputation and I'll likely replace my OE GY with KO3s when the time comes. I run 315/70R17 (34.4 x 12.7 according to Kal Tire) Hakka LT3 on +18ET for winter at stock height and pulled back fender liner.

Assuming no lift, OE wheels (+26 to +28ET) and a fender liner kit (or DIY), I think you could run a 265/60R22 (34.5 x 10.7) or maybe a 295/55R22 (34.8 x 12.2). The 295 sidewall would be really close to the UCA with a stock offset wheel and may rub on diameter. I don't think a 305+ would clear the UCA with OE wheels. The narrower 265/60R22 will still fill the wheel opening, should not rub with a fender liner pullback and will be better in winter.

Thanks for the suggestion. Looking for something a little more aggressive.

Thanks. I'm leaning towards the KO3s as well.
