These should give a wider stance.

Should have a 6 bolt pattern.

Highly unlikely that the stock wheels are forged on these.

Forged wheels are much more expensive and usually only found on higher-end performance cars or when an OEM sources from BBS or the like.

Most OEM wheels are cast.

The best bet for consumers is to try to look for a wheel with a forged barrel and cast face, sometimes called Flow Formed.

A forged 18" wheel (like in my profile photo) weighs 18lbs and for a car range from $800-1000 each - for an SUV even more.

I bought a set of 18x9 RPT1s for my 22 Yukon, they are flow formed. Enkei calls their Flow Formed manufacturing process Most Advanced Technology (M.A.T) and they were about $500'ish each and weigh 23lbs (2105 load rating). Mounted on a 275/70/18 Michelin Defender LTX MS each wheel weighs 75lbs versus the 20" factory wheels/tires for an SLT coming in at 81.4lbs. Most of this weight is tires (52lb each).

Look up the effects of unsprung weight on vehicle dynamics, saving 6.5 lbs a corner is nice, even for a heavy SUV. Doing the opposite is a no bueno. Combined with a low rolling resistance tire I expect to pick up a couple of MPG overall.

I'm going to do a thread on everything I've done with the truck once it's done.
What is the offset on yours good sir?

Finally have my production date for my '22 High Country, and am hoping to get my vehicle in the next 2 months.

I don't really like any of the stock wheels, so I went with standard ones, and want to upgrade right away.

I understand that the wheels are 22x9 with an offset of +25 (or is it -?). I like the look of the Laxani wheels out there, and some of them look like they would fit. However, I really want the truck to have a slightly wider stance, and woud like the wheels to "stick out" about an inch or so from the wheel well. those pictured below look fantastic, but have a +32" offset. I'm not seeing any wheels like out there that I like with an offset like +12 or so that I think would do the trick. I've heard that hub centric spacers might do the trick, but might not be good for the vehicle.

Thoughts or recommendations?

What about these. I keep thinking about them. Can be had in +30 or +15 offset
