I went from factory 20s down to 17s because I wanted as much sidewall as possible. i drive over nasty potholes and up and over curb without worrying about curb rash.

Just throwing it out there, but will 35 or 37x12.50 fit the stock 18 inch wheel?

Yes. The factory 18in wheel is 8in wide so you will not get all the width out of the tire and will make it slightly taller. Ideal width for a 12.50 tire is 8.5-10" Many on here have installed 12.5 inch wide tire on factory wheels. Search the forum and you find a thread specifically for this.

Unfortunately it’s not made in an 8-lug.

But fifteen52 does have the all black Traverse that will fit.

Yes, both will fit, but you’ll need a leveling kit for the 37s.

Just consider this, everything the engine has to turn, steals horsepower and torque, and mileage. Steel wheels are considerably heavier the aluminum.
