been on the forum for months and a member for a few weeks or so.. love all the research i can find out from everyone. as of today i traded in my 98 ram quad cab long bed 24v cummins 4x4 for a 2013 ram hemi 4x4 tradesman quad cab 6'4 bed! i will update all new mods and pics when they come. plannin on the bilstein adjustables and a 1.25 or 3" body to start with 35s.. anyone know of any sites with CHEAP black wheels? ill stick with 17" or so, i opted not to get the express package cuz i dont want the 20s and all the extra chrome bs, not in to that.. tradesman is perfect.. but im really thinkin 100 a piece cragars or something, any thoughts? oh and ill upload pics tomorrow!

welcome to the forum. for cheap rims always check tire rack. they usually have a couple decent ones. seems like a lot of people go with xd or fuel rims.

that i am not sure on. i think you need a 5" backspace so you dont rub while turning. but theres other threads on what offsets to choose if you just look around

Welcome.

The offset and backspace you have mentioned will allow you to run 35's without any rubbing. You could also go with a -24 offset and 4.5 of backspace, which would make the tires stick out just past the fenders.
