GMC Yukon XL Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The GMC Yukon XL used 6x5.5" (6x139.7 mm) and 8x6.5" (8x165.1 mm) bolt pattern variations from 2000 to 2026 along with tire diameters ranging from 30.5" to 33.0" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific GMC Yukon XL years and options. In this case, it's recommended to use a Full-Size tire similar to the tires currently on your vehicle as your spare. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct GMC Yukon XL spare tire.
