Default Need help with understanding wheel size options - easy

All,

I need some direction/advice on replacing the wheels on my 2016 Suburban Z71. I have the OEM wheels and tires, 18 inches. I've been looking at wheel and tire packages on TireRack.com, as well as on eBay.

I am thinking of putting on 22s, but if not then 20s. Can anyone answer the following questions?

1. Can the 2016 Z71 handle 22s? I will probably just have the dealer put them on, but does it mess with the odometer or other settings? What do I need to know? If not, then are 20s fine?

2. Do I need to know anything about the offset? When I put this make and model in Tirerack, a lot of the wheel and tire packages ask me if I want 15mm or 30mm offset. Does this matter? I just want standard.

Any other tips for me would be helpful. Basically, I don't like the look of the 18s and I want a good all around tire/wheel package that still gives me good all around road and highway use. I don't do any offloading, and mild snow in the winter. I know that 22s have less tire which results in less tread, -- but again, its basically road usage.

Thanks guys.

Just to follow-up on this, if I go to the TireRack.com website and put in wheel and tire package for my vehicle, I found the following option:

Sport Muscle SM34. 22x9. Then it says the offset is +24mm.

It matches that up with the Michelin Defender LTX M/S 285/45R22.

So I can trust that this will work on my 2016 Suburban Z71 LT? The factory install that I had was P265/65R18.
