I am looking to buy a 2015 Yukon and want to level it and run the largest (tallest) tire possible. Does anyone know what tire that might be? Here is a pic of the 4x4 Yukon I am buying.

You may want to look around in the "Exterior" section as there is a lot of discussion on tires and wheels. Good luck.

Are you going to use a lowering kit mentioned on this site. Look under "Suspension" and hit up Norcalss and I bet he could tell that what you need to know based on the lowering kit you use as I am sure you want to stay away from tire rub. He seems to be very knowledgable.

Look at the most recent posts under lifted suspension, there's at least 3-4 relevant ones

Denton,
I asked the same in another thread and was told that with a 2.5" leveling lift, I could go with a 285/55R22 and get minimal rub in reverse turns.

How did it work out? I have a 2 inch leveling kit in the front (Mrc) and I'm considering going up another half-inch and put it on a larger tire. I also have the factory 22's (285/45/22)

It's just simple math

OEM 285/45/22 is a 32" setup

I used a suspension maxx 1.5" front level and now have a 33" setup with absolutely zero rub, but visually, I do not think I could have gone much bigger in the front

Nowzoomer, Whats your 33 setup? I have a 2015 Yukon denali with the stock 22's and want to go with 33x12.5 22 toyo's. If the 1.5 leveling kit will do it then that'd be great. Any complaints? my other option is to drop down to a 20 and just do the 275 55 20's but i like the look of the 22's.

275/60/20 on 9.5" et30 wheels, kept me at the same exact outer position as stock wheels (I find stock to be almost perfectly flush with body and didn't want to ruin that)

I'm running KO2s and love them

I think you may rub with your rim width though not tire size

2001ws6, I'm also considering the 33x12.5R22 Toyo MT's except on XD811 Rockstar II's with +12mm offset in Satin Black......looked all over the internet to see what they'd look like, but no dice. Love the look of 22's on the Yukon and really don't want to go 20's, but I'm torn as well....
Would love to see a set of Black 22" wheels with 33" tires on an Iridium Metallic Denali 4x4....

id think i could go leveling kit and thats it before my wife complains. I think toyos on 22's on the denali would be badass but thats a lot of money to throw done the drain if i can't make it work. I just got the rig in december so ill run the stockers down first anyway, maybe someone will beat me to it.

Denton,
Did you end up getting the Yukon and leveling it?

Yeah i usually end up getting crickets when I ask technical questions as well.
Ive got the 2.5" front leveling kit with 1" spacer in the rear and will be running 285/70R17 (~33" tire) From my measurements - no rubbing in the front / back
Good luck!

Does anyone know if 17" wheels will fit on a 15' burb?

LOL they have not change the bolt pattern on a Yukon, tahoe, or Escalade in over 10+ years They are all the same 6x5.5
I doubt they did a big brake upgrade on the 2015's that would keep the 17" wheels from working though.
