Hello

I just purchased a 2013 Denali with 34,000 miles. Unfortunately the chrome wheels are pealing and I am going to purchase a new set of wheel. My like is the factory GM SnowFlake rim. If I go with the 22" version I have the following question:

1. will it fit, from what I have read this is Yes
2. how do you change or calibrate the computer for the bigger wheels
3. is there any disadvantage of going to the 22"

Thanks in advance

You may not have to do anything to the computer, as long as the new rim/tire combo has the same overall diameter/height as the old set.

Usually when going with larger rims, the tire used has a lower profile (sidewall height) to maintain the stock overall diameter.

The shorter sidewall height of the tire will make handling better, but will have a bit harsher ride because there is less sidewall to absorb impacts.
