Looking for any fitment issues. I have an opportunity to grab some 22" take off wheels from a 2021 Denali. TPMS will be swapped so compatible with my 2018. Looking to put Blizzaks on them as a set of winter wheels. Any fitment issues anyone is aware of going from the 2021 body style to the 2018 body style, bolt pattern, offset, or otherwise? I do have a big brake kit on my vehicle currently. If anyone has done this and can relay their experience I would be grateful. Thank you!

Bolt pattern is the same. They will bolt up without issue. Check the offsets of both your wheels and the new wheels. If it’s within a couple do millimeters it will sit fairly same stance wise. I have 2021 wheels on my 2006.

TPMS shouldn't be an issue,I don't think swapping is necessary, there is only 2 frequencies and it should be the same for both model years. I don't have them on my Jeep, some can't deel with the light on all the time but I've forgotten about it and it's not required in PA for the inspection.

Actually the 21 TPMS are not backwards compatible. I found this when I put them on my 2018. If you live near a Discount Tire, they will swap them out for like $10 a tire.

Thanks All for your input. I ended up getting the 2021 wheels and mounted some Blizzaks on them for the winter. What I found out...the TPMS in the '21s ARE different from the '15-'20s. They run at a different frequency so are not compatible if mixing and matching; they must be changed. The offset on the '21s are a little more than the '15-'20s. I was told it is because the standard oem brakes on the '21s are a little bigger than the '15s-'20s. So you can use '21 wheels on the previous generation, but the '15-'20 wheels will not work on the new generation. Hopefully this info helps someone else and Thanks again for everyone's input!

I think it sharpens it up a bit from the 2018 Denali Ultimate wheels. May be because they are new. Either way I do like them. W

Put 22s on my 2007 Yukon XL. Originally had 17s. No problems at all

Loved the look of your truck, and was glad to see the tires fit. I just did the same to mine :) No rubbing at all, even on the Husky splash guards.

Before and after.
