Thanks for the input TT. Now you have me rethinking my position on 20" wheels. I hear you when you talk about the look of the 22" wheel, but with the amount of driving I plan on doing with the family in this vehicle, the improved ride of the 20" wheel just won out over the 22". I figure that I still improve the look of the vehicle by a hundred times over the stock wheel and still keep some of the ride. Fortunately, exhaustive searches on the web, have product many pics of Denali's with 20", 22", and 24" wheels. And by comparing them, I feel good about the look and ride the 20" will give me. One of the best resources I found is

Unfortunately only about 5% of the pics I found advised what tire sizes were used and that's where your input is greatly appreciated. I feel good that if you can go as wide as a 305 that a 295 should work with the right wheel. I'm going with the Falken ZIEX STZ-04 in a 295/50-20. Now I just need to figure out the wheel design to go with. I believe I have it narrowed down to the EVO Slingblade 6 or the Velociti 6. I have to call the tire rack about this offset issue. Do you happen to know of an offset calculator like the ones on the net for tire sizes like

I feel comfortable able going with a wheel upgrade. Like you said, as long as I go with a tire and wheel which will give me the same total diameter as the original it should be fine.
What brand and style wheel are you going with? Post a pic after you put them on and I'll do the same. My Denali is on order. How do you like your 2004 so far. Have you had any of the little issues, I have heard about with the 2002 and 2003? I figured that the problems I heard about had to be isolated and would be worked out of the 2004 model.
