With that 30mm offset you might need a small spacer like something around a 1/4 inch or so on the rear wheels. Mine on wife's truck when I lowered it the rearend shifted slightly and one wheel rubbed on the inner fenders when turning and the axle articulated. So a 1/4 inch spacer and the problem was solved.

Also, on the Yukon it has a multilink and coil spring suspension so with your's being leaf springs I wouldn't expect you to have the same problems I did, I was just sharing my issues with running what I recommended

EDIT-The general rule of thumb is that you want less than a 3" difference between the width of the wheel and the backspacing of the rim. For instance a 14mm offset on a 20x8.5 rim equates to 5.25 backspacing which is a 3.25" difference between the width/backspacing and certainly isn't optimal.
If I drop it any it will be no more than 2/4 drop. I like the Boss and the enkei rt6 wheels. But from what I read the enkei rt6 wheels will not work. I like a flat spoke but finding one like the enkei wheel is hard to do will I have found nun.

What size are those? Looks like I will go with 20's. One thing I do not like about the newer wheels is you can not get them in different width's. Like a 20x10 all I see is 20x8.5. I am from the old school you when you could get 15x8 15x10

Those look to be a 24x10 with a 275/35 or something like that. I had 275/30/24s on my truck and I wouldn't really recommend running a tire that small on a DD. It made me a nervous wreck when I would drive it on the interstate or anywhere that I didn't know the roads
