2006 Denali/WHEELS AND TIES, PLEASE HELP

[ELKstatus]

Hello Everyone

I have a 2006 Yukon Denali.
I have already ordered the CV93 Denali replica wheels 22x9.

I have a few question or concerns

I intend to install the Ready Lift leveling kit, and accepting recommendations. I dont care to lift it much highers.

I am hesitant to run a 33" mud tire, rather a 285 A/T - currently eyeballing toyo open county.

Lastly, im uncertain if I should install a 1in hubcentric spacer kit.

Any insight anyone can give would be appreciated, and any pictures with similiar set ups would be amazing.

THANKS EVERYONE!

Does your Yukon Denali have the Z55 suspension (Z55 on your RPO code listing on your glove box sticker)? If so, additional leveling should not be necessary.

What size mud tire are you currently contemplating? ***/yy x 22

I have no input other than those tires are god awful noisy....and slick as a wet floor in the rain, probably good for mud & snow though.

I really like my Cooper Discoverer ATP tires that I recently purchased. Not noisy and great grip in the rain here in Oregon.

Welcome to the forum.

You will never get me to say anything good about spacers.

Challenge accepted! I think you'll agree either removing spacers or not using them in the first place is the one positive thing you will say about them.

If they were never there, then nothing positive or negative is said. I am too old to worry about what may or may not be there...........

I concede, sir. As an aside, my dad is a Marine Viet Nam veteran.

Right now I have the toyo open country all terrains, 265/60.

I decided I dont need the spacers but rather a toss up between 285/50r22 or 305/45r22 tire

Its really hard to find a similiar set up. I know the leveling kit might not be necessary* but rather prefer the look.

I like a rich and meaty stock looking truck. Not really keen on going with a mud terrain, would rather avoid it if I can. All terrain tread is my preference.

THANKS!

i have tried there open country 305/55r20 =33" $1200+ in tires, promptly got rid of them
went with nexen roadian at pro ra8 (same size) $100 cheaper each and much better tire all around, there not as "meaty" looking but they sure drive nice, no road noise and much better in the rain, not perfect but i'm not skating down the road either, I felt like I was hydroplaning in the toyo's constantly, it was scary enough for me to eat money on them and wash my hands of them asap. The nexens fit my needs which was being able to go off road well enough and still drive in the city.
A lot of guys like the K02's i have never tried them myself. Like I said before the toyo's might be great for off-road I wouldn't recommend them for pavement.

Offset is 31

With a 31mm offset, either 285/50r22 or 305/45r22 tire sizes will work.

Tires for 20's and 22's look great, but they are so darn expensive!

I swapped out a set of 20 inch rims for a beat up set of 16's off an old Silverado (for $0), just because they had better tread, skinnier tires and fatter sidewalls. They are only 245/70 R16. I just needed something better than the fat sport-tread tires that were on the 22" rims for winter.

I will keep the 16" rims unless I find really affordable 17" rims in the spring. Tires for the 16, 17 or even 18 inch rims seem to run a lot cheaper than 20 and 22 tires. I plan on getting some 265/75 R16 (or R17) General Grabber AT tires from Walmart. They are $145 each. I wish I could go with something fancy, but that is what I can do under my budget situation.
