I have a general question

[mampy]

I am about to buy a 2007 GMC Yukon Denali, i also want to buy some 26 inches rims for it. Do i have to make any ajustments to put the rims on, or can the rims fit perfectly and the vehicle run good with out making any any ajustments????

The wheels will fit with no adjustments needed....BUT be ready for a little bit of rubbing, yukons and hoes have rubbing issues with 24s and 26s....no big deal though only hear it rub on sharp turns or going up driveways....youll get over it. TOTALLY WORTH IT i love my 24s

It is recomened to get bigger brakes with any wheel over 22

Mine rub in the front at about 2/3 full lock turns, but not at full lock and I hear the rears rub a little when entering/exiting steep driveways.

You need to do brakes and make sure you get a good alignment.

You actuually don't "need" new brakes. These car are pretty good onn brales and though 24s and 26s will make your brakes not as efficient just start stopping earlie and you'll be fine. I know alot of people with 24, 26s and even 28, or even some with 35" or 40" tires with no brake upgrade. Its all personel choice really, after all who want to pay all that money for new brakes!

I run a 295/35 24" wheel and tire setup. Mine don't rub in the front at all, even at full turn. It did rub in the back though going up a steep driveway with my third row in the back with two passengers. Now you can see marks inside the wheel wells in the rears from when it rubbed. I love my 24's though!

That's like saying you don't "need" to brake -- you can just do an evasive maneuver and hope there aren't any trees on the side of the road.

Seriously though, I have a buddy with 26"s on an Escalade, and he says it can be downright scary how much longer it takes to brake when you're rolling along at speed. It's not so much the planned braking I'd worry about, but the unplanned braking.

True, you don't need new brakes with larger wheels -- but it's a really, really, really good idea.

It is a good idea but its weird how nobody metions them many on here running 20" wheels and 35" Nitto offroad tires. That combo weighs WAY more than a 26" wheel/tire combo and they don't compalin much about braking so with 26s its not that bad!
