How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
GMC Yukon Denali OE Wheel Specs
The 2025 GMC Yukon Denali (SUV) uses a 6x139.7 bolt pattern with a 78.1mm center bore. Factory wheels are 22x9J at ET28.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Supports the vehicle's curb weight and load capacity
- Preserves ground clearance for everyday and light off-road use
- Balances ride comfort with cargo and passenger stability
- Maintains clearance for the factory suspension travel and brake package
Flush Fitment
For a flush look with minimal rubbing, 22x9.5J ET15 is the recommended starting point on a stock or mildly lowered GMC Yukon Denali.
Maximum Aggressive Fitment
24x10J ET10 is a more aggressive reference setup. Beyond this, expect rubbing under compression without fender rolling or camber correction.

Decision Guide
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 22x9J ET28 → ~6.1″ backspacing
- Flush: 22x9.5J ET15 → ~5.84″ backspacing
- Max: 24x10J ET10 → ~5.89″ backspacing
A Note on Clearance
Final clearance depends on the exact tire model, suspension height, brake package, alignment and vehicle tolerances. A physical test fit is recommended before production.
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact GMC spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your GMC Yukon Denali? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
