ok guys I know this has been answered a billion times, but Im trying to order my rims and tires right now. I have a leveling kit and a 1.25" body lift, if Im running 18" wheels and 35" tires what off set will I need? The guy at the shop told me negative and the guy Im going through for my rims and tires is saying +14 to +20.

Granted I have a 6" suspension lift I thought that you would rather have a neg offset. I have a -12 offset for my tires. But, I'm sure someone else will chime in here in a min. Here is a pic of how my tires sit on my truck...

So I found a guy that has 20" wheels with a 0 offset with 35x12.50 tires on his leveled ram. Will a 0 offset work on 18" XD Misfits with the same size tires?

depending on the tires and their sidewall lugs a 0 offset would be close

hey Gator are those XD Spys? I was looking into getting either those of the addicts since thats the only damn rims I can find in a -12 offset right now.

Really would like to have the XD Hoss or XD Misfit though, sucks not having that many options in the brand rim you want.

How wide of a wheel are you looking at? That will change your offset. Like a 9" wide wheel with 4.5" BS is -12 mm offset but a 10" wide wheel with 4.5" BS is -24 mm offset.

Im going with 18"XD Spy and 35" Toyo Open Country MT, wish I could say Im paying 1300 but it will be around $2,200 with the TPMS and shipping. Oh well really like the rim and tire combo.....:drool:
