Hello All,

I have a 2016 GMC Yukon Denali with a 2.5" Suspension Maxx Front Leveling Kit with stock rear suspension. I have trimmed the whole plastic front bumper air dam off and I also don't mind performing the NorCal mod to the inner fender. I am trying to avoid tire rubbing on any suspension components/frame/etc. This vehicle is equipped with the stock 22" wheels and I plan to keep the wheels and just upgrade tires when the current tires have low tread. I would prefer the maximum tire height to fill as much of the fender wells as possible and I am open to any width. I am looking at different all terrain and mud tires currently. Any and all input will be helpful and appreciated!

Thanks!

this is a 2.5/1.5 lift, with a 285/55/22...i did trim the very front portion of fender line, maybe an inch in height. 99/9% of people looking side by side would never notice as i followed the factory shape.
This is the largest size with out major trimming, next up is almost 34" tire

That is all of a 34” tall tire, if not even taller.

Nice setup for sure!

i stand corrected...i wanted the 285/55...didnt fit. went with the 285/50. i still have the 55 stuck in my head, as that is what will end up going on it in the very near future. it will receive a 4" lift over all.

How are you liking the Toyo ATs? I have been looking into the Nitto Ridge Grapplers but haven't made my mind up for sure yet. I have been noticing the 33x12.50R22 is a bit cheaper than the 285/50R22 for not much difference in size.

this is roughly the 4th or 5th set i have purchased, stating with the older AT. i love them, they are quiet, handle and ride great and never under performed in any condition i have used them in. not to mention, they last longer than advertised.

Have had 305/45/22 at3’s on my wifes high country for a short period of time. So far seem to be great tires. Smooth/balanced, quiet, and hookup great in snow, rain and dry weather.
That's very helpful to hear when comparing tires! Do you by chance have any pictures to see how they look on the vehicle?
