I just put new wheels and snow tires on my Yukon. I went with Method MR316 in matte black (which is really more of a satin) along with Nokian studded snow tires. The transformation was so dramatic I was inspired to rip off the running boards and the trim on the side. I'm currently in the process of doing Raptor lining on the lower half of the body on account of the fact that I messed up paint when I ripped off the trim. I went with 17" wheels with a stock tire size 265/70R17. The offset combined with the fact that wheel is black just makes it look bigger. After I ripped off the running boards it looked like I gave it a 2" lift. I think it has a nice balanced look.

A high clearance tubular off-road bumper for the front and back would make it scream. Wheels will make something look cool, but the bumpers is what makes the difference. Also be weary of the power steps, I put them on mine (Amp research) and I regret it so much, if it rains, mud kills them, drive down a gravel road, also kills them, snow, borderline breaks them and really just not as effective as other, However, if you get/make some mud flaps, it would probably help a lot, I skid plated my entire Tahoe except the exhaust and have gasketed openings for the steps and they still get crap in them. (But your Tahoe is so clean and sick so you know what your doing)
