Changing Wheel Size on '19 Denali 4WD?

[MSD9000]

I bought a 19 Denali to tow my Airstream Trailer. It has cool 22" wheels but that means skinny 45 series tires which are not ideal for a tow car.

I know i can put 20" wheels on it, but what is really like is 18" with 60 series LT tires.
Is it possible to put 18" wheels on this?

Cheers,
Mark

You bet it is. I have a 2017 Denali that came with the pretty, but useless, 22 inch wheels. I have permanently ditched them in favor of GM Accessoey 18 inch wheels. They look nice, ride better, and offer a better selection of available tires.

Yes. Ours also came with 22s. I was looking at 18 for winter but ended up getting a set of 20s from a same generation silverado which were also one of the Tahoe rims.
Make sure you use the factory size tire for 18" or at least a common size with the sane overall diameter so that the speedometer and everything else works properly and the proper tpms sensors. You can get the tool to reset them for $10 on amazon.

Hey! Thanks for the quick responses! Fantastic! Yes, I will use the "tiresize" website to make sure I select a tire with the same revolutions per mile. I can get within 1% I think, which is good enough for me.

I'm pretty sure the ride will be way better with a 65 series or even 60 series tire. And I can get the higher load range.

Thanks guys!

I see plenty of wheels available in 18" but I see that there are many different "offsets" available, such as 30mm, 12mm, 20mm, etc.

I'm not sure what the meaning of that is. I don't want anything weird, or crazy, like wheels hanging out past the fenders or anything.

What would be the "stock offset"? Sorry, I'm just not that experienced with this issue of wheels - never purchased a wheel!

Not sure on that. When I was looking I was watching local ads for people selling their stock rims for ones I liked and was looking at both the trucks and suv's. I ended up getting ones that had the sensors and good tires. I'm not an aftermarket rim person.

Thanks Joseph! I only have two pics of the Yukon taken on the dealer lot. I am picking it up tomorrow. On the CarMax web site for "Features" this one was rated a "10" and described as "Loaded". It seems to have about every option possible. So, I bought the full extra warranty.
