So I need new tires on my 99 Yukon. Last time I bought new take offs from a Avalanche Z71. It has 265/70r/17. I am planning on buy new tires but was wondering if any of the nw GM take-off rims/tires will fit my 99? Thanks'.

I’m assuming that since you used z71 wheels you have 6 lugs. eBay listings describe the technical specs of OEM wheels 16”x7”6lugx5.5 with 31mm offset.
The diameter of you current wheels + tires is 31.9” overall. The stock size (265/75/16) is 31.6” so maybe your speedometer reads a tad higher than actual speed but close enough.
All that to say, just about any GM half ton wheel from 1994-2014 16-18” appear to be the correct lug pattern and offset while allowing tires to keep near the factory rolling diameter of 31.6” (otherwise you’d need the car programmed or have an off speedometer). You can of course get into the 20-22” range but that’s silly on an OBS to me.

If nothing else you could search for 6-5.5x31mm offset wheels on various distributor sites.

I was just seeing if a newer steof take off might be cheaper the buying s new set of tires. I am planning on replacing this Yukon in the next year.

This is the 7 spoke version.

6 spokes. :p

And, to the OP, I find take-offs to often be cheaper than just new tires on existing wheels. One of the first mods many do with a new 4WD is a lift or at least a level and bigger wheels and tires. To them, the factory wheels and all-terrains are just "boring factory junk" that they're looking to offload ASAP.
