Will OEM 2013 Denali 8-lug 20" wheels fit my 2002 Yukon XL 2500

In all of my searching, it looks like the bolt pattern stays the same from 02-current, but i know the offset changed a bit. They guy at discount told me "they'll fit but it not ideal." I'm hoping to get a better informed answer than that. My current set-up, 305-55-20's definitly stick out wide in front, and look great in back. Are they going to suck in both in front and back?

I'm also getting rub from the 305's so i'm going to drop back to a 265-60-20. Will the rub stop as well.

I'd love any help, I''m not the car guy i should be.

Also I've heard some nnbs and nbs stuff, and have no idea what that means.

They will bolt on, but the fitment depends on the back spacing. I would try them on and see if they clear all necessary suspension and body panels.

NOPE, the bolt pattern is different!

the 2011- present have 8/180
yours has 8/165.1

Ahhhhhhhhhh, thanks for the info. It's somewhat ridiculous how hard it is for the average joe to get the info straight. I called the dealership toady to try and get something and they were useless. I guess i'll have to pass on the $900 take off's with new tires. Bummer for me.

Just get adapters. $900 is stupid cheap.

One last question

How important is the load rating on tires. I got a set of Hankook Ventus ST RH06 275-55-20's and tires shops won't put them on due to load rating stuff. Again I have the 2500 and I am assuming that this is why the load ratings are matching up.

I'm not planning on towing with this rig anytime soon. Do i need to be concerned, or can i just mount them myself?

No need t worry about load rating if your not towing, the weight between a 1550 and 2500 is negligible. Towing and weight is why there is Load Range D and E for 2500/3500s, most 1500s use class C which is for a passenger car actually. For example my 33x11x20 weigh 30lbs less each tire being C over D from less material in the tire.
