2015-2020 GMC Yukon Wheel, Tire, & Suspension Fitment Guide

Produced from 2015 to 2020, the fourth generation GMC Yukon quickly gained a reputation as a dependable vehicle that can be used for a variety of purposes. Its refined design and improved technology represented a big step up from the previous generations, offering a more spacious and comfortable interior and improved towing and off-road capability. Whether it's used for off-road excursions, daily commutes, or weekend getaways, the Yukon is a powerful full-size SUV that shines in a variety of applications, offering an incredible blend of utility and luxury.

If you’ve wanted to take your fourth gen GMC Yukon and turn it into an off-roading machine that can handle any kind of terrain, but aren’t quite sure where to start, then you’ve come to the right place. This Fitment Guide will walk you through what wheels, tires, and suspension options you’ll want to consider to maximize the rugged performance of your Yukon build. We’ll also show examples from our gallery of what other Yukon owners equipped their rides with to help provide inspiration as well. We’re ready to get started if you are, so let’s dive right in!

Stock Wheel & Tire Fitment for the Fourth Generation GMC Yukon

When looking at the stock size options for the fourth generation Yukon, there are a few options to choose from. Tire sizes were available in 265/65 and 275/55 options. For wheels, there were the choices of 18x8.5 or 20x9 sizes. The bolt pattern that the Yukon runs is a 6x5.5 size, which is something you’ll want to remember. When looking at custom wheels for your Yukon, you’re going to want to make sure they fit that specific bolt pattern. If not, then you’ll need an adapter to get the correct fit for your ride.

When looking to maximize your Yukon’s off-road capability, you’ll want to make sure you follow the similar pattern as other Yukon owners in our gallery: bigger tires and smaller wheels. You’ll see most wheel sizes are between 33-37 inches in height combined with wheels that are between 17-20 inches in diameter. This gives you the best off-road performance, allowing you to navigate through rough or uneven terrain without damaging any components of your ride. Combine that with a leveling kit or a lift kit to enhance your ground clearance and stance, and you’ll be ready to hit the backroads. Another useful tip to remember is make sure that your suspension geometry is properly aligned before hitting the trails. If your suspension is out of whack, you can end up causing a lot of damage to your rig.
