26 inch rims on a 22 Denali?

[david1523]

I know this isn't going to be everyones cup of tea, but I found a great deal on a set of 26 inch rims/tires and I am really considering them. I had been set on getting a set of 24s, but its going to be hard to pass up this deal.

With that being said, does anyone run 26's? How much did it affect ride quality, and how do you like them so far? Any regrets? Pictures are always welcomed and thanks in advance for the help!

Here are some examples of 24" and 26" inch rims on a Taho/Yukon. Depending on your preference, 26's with a positive offset will likely fit better with very little body modifications. I went with 24's with a -76 negative offset (Redwood Metallic below) and no lift, so I'll have to modify the body. Most people would lift their vehicles with offroad wheels, but I don't like to conform by anyone's rule. Not only that, but there comes a lot of restrictions when you lift a vehicle up high. Decreased miles per gallon from wind drag due to the height, parking lot restrictions, proximity issues when near objects you can't see, and vehicle entry and exit difficulties. I could also add in decreased mileage per gallon from bigger wheels, but that's a given when buying larger wheels.

Either way do what makes you happy, and don't listen to people that are gonna hate on you.

Nice style of rim. Not criticizing, but the wheel well gaps look pretty big--or is it the angle of the pic? I'm not into 26's, but it looks good.

If your new wheel/tire combo is significantly heavier, wider, and/or more sticky than your previous one, then your MPGs will suffer.

Now that you've had the 26s on for a month, how do you like the ride quality?

Honestly its not bad. I was expecting to notice it a lot more. It is definitely stiffer then before but not uncomfortable. I don't think anyone that gets in it now would know the difference. It even passed the wife test so we are good to go!

I've only had my AT4 for 3 months and most of the time I'm only driving it to and from work, so the family really hasn't experienced long road trips with my 24's yet. It's a little stiffer ride, but not by much. The mud tires gives the ride a low vibration, but it's not annoying... Glad the 26s worked out for you.

I know this is a sort of older thread but I figured I'd ask here. What tire pressure are you running with those 26s?

I know this is a sort of older thread but I figured I'd ask here. What tire pressure are you running with those 26s? From my experience 45lb tire pressure is best & recommended when riding on Big Wheels. No less than 43lbs for a slight softer ride. Relpy back after testing it out yourself.

They look good. Just got a 2025 chevy tahoe high country 4wd and looking to buy a set of 26x10s. Would you happen to know what offset yours are?

Is this stock height? Any rub? Looking to do the same, but was told I would have to go 295/30 at stock height.
