Hello, I am a proud new owner of a 2016 Yukon XL. I am also new to this forum which I think is awesome. I hate my 22" rims. I can't wait to try and sell them. That being said I am not the brightest bulb in the bunch when it comes to offsets and wheel spacers stuff. I would like to put this rims and tires on my truck. the wheels are KMC
KM301 TURBINE
  • 17x8.5
  • Finish: Black Painted
  • Offset: +25mm
WRANGLER DURATRAC - SIZE: LT315/70R17

How will that work out?

Thanks !!

The wheels will fit but you will run into some rubbing issues with that tire size. Those are almost 35" so even with a mild leveling kit you are still going to run into some rubbing issues.

Welcome to the forum from Iowa.

As you can see, folks here are more than willing to help folks based on their knowledge and experience.

Throw up some pictures of your ride as it stands today and then again after you get the new wheel/tire situation sorted out.

Welcome to the Forum from NH.

Lots of knowledgeable folks here who freely share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives. Knowledge is power.

I hope that you will become a participating member in the Forum's discussions.

Pics, please.



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, 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.

https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/

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.

Yes I will. I purchased it from a Lincoln Dealer 2 days ago. This morning I got a surprise call from them stating "come pick up your new tires". Someone in the shop had ordered new tires for it but put the truck up for sale before they got installed. They are Kelly tires, they seem to have decent tread so I guess I am gonna roll on these 22's for awhile. First thing in order is a muffler delete cause I am a redneck at heart lol

I have so much to learn my head is spinning right now. I'm trying to get caught up on all the reading here. I am not made of money,the suspension will stay stock for the near future. Maybe I can squeeze some 305's in there but if not its still a great truck.
