Looking at getting some new shoes for my 2008 Sierra Denali.

Currently at factory height, completely stock minus some tinted windows and black door handles.

Planning on color matching the grill, and maybe add a 2" shackle drop in the rear to level it. I'm not 100% sure yet, as I tow a holiday trailer.



I'm thinking about going with 22's, a little bigger than stock without sacrificing ride quality and the cost of 24's.

The 2 wheel choices I have in mind are the KMC Slides, don't tell me they're "played out" because you see them online all the time. I don't know of any trucks locally that have them.

22" Slides







22" Black CK375 Replica's



Would have the black center cap,





Which do you like better? The Replica's are definitely cheaper... But how's the quality of them?

Stockwheelsolutions.com has them for $200 a piece, anyone order from them before? Any other distributors of the black CK375's?

Question on offset, there's a set of KMC Slides for sale... But they're +15mm off set, versus the 38mm offset that's "recommended" for my truck.

Will they stick out past the fenders, or still stay somewhat tucked?

Onto tire size... from the research I've done the recommended tire size is a 275/45r22, but those seem to be few and far between.

I've noticed most guys on 22's run 305/40r22's, that seems like a pretty wide tire but it's just as close to the factory diameter.

Anyone see an issue with running that size of tire on a stock CC NNBS?

Thanks for the help, any insight is appreciated.

 

Man I love the NNBS denali s ! Yours is sharp . How do you like the 6.2 ?

If your picking between those two def get the replicas , they look sweet , IMO the KMCs look cheap and the center caps are fugly.

Plus The KMC s are made by wheel pros , their wheels are **** quality .

 

What Tim said!

 

Replicas hands down

 

I vote to go with the black ck375!

Side note, I wish someone made replica factory denali wheels in 22", I think it would be a sick wheel in 22"

 

Replicas!

 

I'm up in the air regarding wheels, I think both could look good, I'd lean a little towards the replicas myself as well. For the tires, 305/40/22 on a stock Denali won't be a problem at all, I ran that size on mine with a 4/7 drop, you'll be just fine.

 

I just bought those same replicas for my SSS and am running a 305/40...no issues. I got em from OE Wheels on eBay for $837 shipped...

 

Damn, ever since TIM Z said the center caps look ugly that's all I see when I looks at the rims, haha.

They're still good looking but I'm siding with the majority, I dig the replicas.

Especially after seeing this truck:







Thanks for the insight on the tires too, 305/40r22 are almost the exact same height as the stock 275/55r20's so it should be a good choice of tire. Plus the little wider tires should make it look a little more aggresive.

The other option is 285/45r22's what do you guys recommend?

So has anyone had experience or know of anyone with the replicas? Or a good place to buy them?

There's a set of barely used nitto 420's 305/40r22 for sale locally, anyone have experience with them.

This truck is my daily dirver, for what its worth.

 

Only thing that would make ^^^^^ that truck better is clear the headlights and lightly tint the tails. Would be SINISTER!!
