Default And idea what size and type wheels these are? (gmc yukon)

I saw this truck a year or so ago and really liked the wheel/tire combination and snapped a few pics with my phone. I finally have the funds to work a little on my yukon and was wondering if anyone could guess what size wheels these are, and if possible what make. If it helps, I know the tires are toyo MTs. Thanks.

The tires are Toyo Open Country M/Ts. Wheels look around 22" or so. Only good for crawling malls and thats probably all it gets used for. I would go with 16"-17" wheels if it were me.

The wheels look l ikea 20 inch moto metal wheel. The tires are a 275 65 20 tire they also have a listing for a 315 60 20 but you have to have a lift to fit that size under a stock height yukon.

DFK- yup thought about going a bit smaller but I like that look and too be honest, I wont really be offroading in it.

Thanks firekidd02! those are them, do you think it has a leveling kit or anything. Will the MTs be loud?

It either has a leveling kit or the front torsion bars have been cranked up. If your gonna do a leveling kit you should be able to use f150 torsion keys in the front and gain about 2 inches of lift. They are not the quietest tire but theyre not that bad just keep them rotated properly and a good alignment and you will be fine.

ford keys fit chevys, its a popular swap. the indexing is different and lets you crank the bars up more. i've had them on a couple of my chevys.

But anything over 1.5" and you really begin to loose ride quality. You are loosing the droop in your suspension so the truck will tend to just fall into potholes and such.
