Anybody else get the 20s on their Denali?

I feel like I’m the only one! I got the Premium package with active something w/sunroof and max tow with 6.2. But has the smaller wheels. I’m even having trouble finding pictures of a Denali with the OEM 20s. Anybody have a pic of theirs?
Ordered this Denali in Dec. with 22"s (SF2) that were not available at the time. Still waiting for wheels and chips. It came with the only 20" wheel avail. Not too bad but I wanted chrome.

Go to utube, there are a few videos of 21’s with 20”. Personally the 22” look better, mine was on order with 20” I did see one in my colour with 20’s and called dealer to change order to 22” and was still able. There is still a good sidewalk with the22’s just saying. Good luck.

Here is my 22 Denali with stock 20s on top then the black GMC 22s on bottom. Was a before and after pic I took when I got the tire package from GMC accessories. I sold the 20s for like 1200

On the wife's denali we ordered it in then swapped to the GMC 20's and went BF AT KO's (couldn't get the KO's in 22 that we wanted). Didn't go aftermarket rim as we've had some issues with corrosion (we are on the ND/MN line) with previous rim sets.

I've got a Denali on order with 22's (Air Ride, etc) but likely am going to go to 20's instead. Much better wheel choices and tire choices as well

We test drove both sizes on the same day. Same dealership, same loop. The 20s were WAY smoother. I’m a geezer. Don’t really care about looks. I just want the Yukon to do its job: tow the boat, road trips. It does both beautifully.
20's are the way to go. That's why ordered my 2022 Premier with 20's rather than the High Country that only came with 22's.

Getting 22’s on a suv that will see any potholes are dirt is silly.
I am looking to get 19’ with snow tires for the winter and swap them.


I would take them in midnight blue to match the car, but still looking at costs.

Traded 21’ (kept the rims) with OEM AT4 20” rims and Duratrac goodness:

That looks excellent and I'm trying to find someone who has Onyx black with the AT4 rims.

Question for those who have ordered premium capability which comes with 22's... Was your dealer able to remove the 22's and ship only with the interim wheels and then order a set of AT4 rims to put on? I'd instantly be putting Michelin LTX A/T2's on. Yes it's an LT tire but they handle like a dream.

I ordered my 22 Denali with the 22" SF2 wheel option ($3500). It came with 20" standard polished aluminum. Dealer told me I would be lucky to see the 22"'s by the end of the year and maybe then some.Searched online and found New, the exact wheel with Bridgestones. Called the shop and they not only were willing to switch the tires to Michelin LTX/MS they also gave me a trade-in on the 20's with Continentals.Went back to the dealer and got my wheel package refunded,the new tires/wheels were already mounted and spun with tpm's and best part- put money back in my pocket:D:D Here's pic

I just don't get the connection between what GM calls the "Premium capability package with active response 4WD" and 22" wheels... It seems on the online config builder I am paying a $3,865 penalty for rims/tires which are less capable than the 20's. The first dealer I talked to said the config is what is it and that was that, I walked out.

Perhaps this is also why I'm also deciding between sending my 09' 2500 into the body shop for a complete refurb or a new Denali.

The factory 20’s look silly on a Denali…..IMO. Next to nobody wants them or goes that direction. I feel like it’s a budget move by GM.

Now to me 22s look silly on these vehicles. I prefer the 18s i will get on mine. To each their own.
