17's on my Denali?

[Nelso419]

I have a 2012 yukon denali xl. I need new tires and wheels. It's a commuter car for my kids and I'll never be going off road although I live in Northern Michigan winters. I want cheap as possible without having to replace them in a few years. I think going down to 17 instead of the 20's on there from the factory makes a lot of sense for my situation, opens up the tire choicese a lot. Is that possible with my car? Is the suspension that different from the SLE? I can't get a straight answer from Google.

Thank you.

And I could not care less about looks.

Check a rim website and see what options they offer based on your vehicle. 17’s don’t seem like a stretch on that MY.

I have. some say they will fit and others say they won't. Can't get a straight answer

I put factory take offs (17”) from a 2018 Silverado on my 2003 Silverado and had no issues. I think the 17’s are not compatible with the newest model (T1) trucks due to the brake calipers but should be a direct fit on most MY save for a few mm difference at most.

Anyone know if PPV wheels from a 2019 Tahoe PPV (spoke type) would fit my 2011 Tahoe PPV (8 hole)? Both 17 inch and the tires are the same size, but my research says the offset is different.

Unless you have really fancy@$$ brakes,
I've trouble thinking of a tire size with more tires to choose from than 265/70R17
(I'm crazy enough to consider 255/75R17, but I get why many people would prefer 265/70R17).

17’s are alright on the NBS Denali but our NNBS / Gen 3 / 07-14 Denali requires a min of an 18” rim due to the offset and larger brakes on the 6.2L.

18” (5.5” wide) steel spare rims are an option but really inadequate for a 6.2L AWD platform.

ESCALADE 07-22. TAHOE 95-22. SILVERADO 88-22. SIERRA 88-22. WHEELS AND RIMS ARE SHAPED FOR EXACT VEHICLES SPECS AND DO NOT INTERCHANGE BY LUG PATTERN ONLY. THIS IS FOR ONE NEW 18x7 6X5.5 STEEL WHEEL.

18x6.5 is the factory offset for a NNBS Denali with 18”. This means you can use the 2015-2020 Tahoe rim selection of 18x6.5.

It’ll drive great with all that sidewall in the tire and make it almost immune from potholes and curbs.
