Question about wheel size and offset

[DenaliCountry]

Can I get away with a 22x10 -13 offset wheel with 305/45/22 tires on a stock '22 Yukon Denali with air ride or will it rub?

I would venture to say it will rub. Do they stick out much further than the stock wheels? If so, can pretty much guarantee it…that size tire with the factory wheels/offset just barely clears on my wifes high country.

So back spacing would be 4.98" on the 10" Wheel. Back spacing on the stock wheel is 6.1" although it's a 9" Wheel. Tires would be 1" wider than stock or .5" off the center line of the wheel. All that in mind the the whole setup would "poke" out about 2.5" compared to stock (at least based on my napkin math). Sounds like it's gonna be a "no" lol.

I personally don't think it will rub. It will stick out far past the fenders but shouldn't rub. At worst, you might need some minor trimming at full turn.

Oh it will definitely rub. Turn the stock tire and wheel into the fender tight, where they get close to rubbing…then picture the new wheel/tire combo sticking out another few inches. You will definitely need trimming.

If you run a stock wheel width and offset, that tire size will not rub. The wheel specs that you are talking about, IMO, will rub.

However......

Regarding wheel/tire combinations that will fit your truck without rubbing, no 2 trucks and their suspensions are exactly alike, due to a number of factors including accumulated wear on the suspension components and different wheel widths and offsets, so there is no guarantee that what fits with no rubbing on one truck will automatically fit with no rubbing on your truck. Other folks' experiences can guide you in one direction or another, but the final test will be when you mount the wheel/tire combination on your own truck.

To assist you in getting a good idea on whether or not specific alternate wheel/tire combinations 'may' fit your truck with no rubbing, I recommend that you use the wheel/tire comparison app at the URL listed below. You can use this app starting with your existing wheel/tire combination as a benchmark, assuming that there are currently no rubbing issues with it, and measure the actual critical fender and suspension component clearances as directed by this app. Then, you can enter alternate wheel/tire combinations, and this app will give you the projected changes in these critical fender and suspension component clearances.

I used this app for determining whether on not I could use my current alternate wheel/tire combination, and it accurately projected the changes in critical clearances. Again, the use of this app in not an absolute guarantee that an alternate wheel/tire combination will fit without rubbing, but it provides a much better assessment, or projection, than simply an educated guess on your part, or a statement from others that it worked on a truck other than yours.
