What wheels are they? I have the stock 20 chrome clads on my 2012 Laramie 2wd and keep getting told I have to get a new offset wheel. I like the stocks and my money too much to pull the trigger.

I know stock 20's work on the maxtrac kit I run. It pushes the front out 1" which is 24mm which would make a stock +18 ram wheel into a -6 offset. Since I have 35's I just went with the 4.5" lift since it leaves plenty of clearance for 35's I would have needed 37's with a 7" on my truck. Not sure how far the spindles push the wheels out on the CST. I have seen stick Laramie wheels on a spindle lift on 35's. Pm Sean on here with maxtrac and he can link you to some pics with stock wheels on lifted laramie's.

Nice! Looks like 2 different trucks.
Looks great and I'm really wanting to do this but I don't want to hurt mileage, towing, handling, or off-road suspension travel. 35" or 305 tires would look awesome but they seem to be 30-40% more than the stock 275s.
My truck is out in the desert a lot and I love how well it soaks up bumps while driving at speed in the dirt. Surprisingly, I've never had clearance issues on the stock suspension.
What I really need is to add a limited slip to expand 2x4 drive-ability in the snow and mud, and of course for decent doughnuts and burn outs.

My mileage probably would be better if I used a AT tire over a MT but it's only noticeable in city driving I don't see a big difference in the average. I get decent mpg's on the highway still. Plus with just the spindle lift my front suspension is still stock aside from longer brake lines. The rear coils and new shocks are pretty good on my kit. Rides as good as it did stock. I added a airlift 1000 kit for when a load anything in the bed or if I have to haul a trailer so I don't have to worry about that either.

finstinct........the stock rims will work perfect, but to get the rears to match you will need 1.5 inch spacers on the rear, get wheel concentric and hub concentric, I have towed my 32 foot TT ,since 2009, and they stay put, had a gear put in and the guy had hell getting them off they were so tight.
I have put 35's on mine with stock rims and the rear spacers, I have my 33's on there now. I was the first one around here in 2009 with the CST 7
