Got the green light on my wheels so now my head is going crazy with ideas lol. Truck set up is 4x4 CC leveled on bilsteins. I'm stuck between BFG KO2's and general grabber red labels (35x12.5 r17).... and for rims so far are method NV black or bronze, XD Bully grey and black in 17x8.5. Any other 35x12.5 17 setups on a level are welcome haha. I really like these two setups.IMG_0100.JPGIMG_8890.JPG

I like the NV black and bronze. ME PERSONALLY id go with the goodyear duratracs but the next best thing to the duratrac would be the K02. Ive heard some horror stories withe the grabbers chopping and causing a vibration

Well what type of driving do you do? A lot of daily driving? Offroad?

It's my daily but round trip to work is only 10 miles so I don't put a lot of miles on her. As far as off-roading it will be a regular thing once I get my wheels set up. Weather isn't a big deal as I live in so cal so only time we get weather is if we go up to the mountains haha.

Rah! How are the 35x12.5's running on a bilstein level? I have read on 0 offset they rub at full lock but how do they perform when on trails?

I purchased one NV Bronze wheel and mounted a 35x12.50 Toyo MT on it in order to confirm fit before I did the full purchase. I have an Outdoorsman with Bilsteins at the maximum setting holding it up, but a heavy Iron Bull front bumper with a 12k lb winch in it pulling it back down. I couldn't get the tire to rub anything but it's awful close (about 1/2" gap) when stuffed as far as I can get it with the jack in my driveway. I'm going to find a ramp somewhere to test it at "complete stuff" before pulling the trigger on a full set of 5. I LOVE the look of the bronze wheel, but be warned that they don't keep them in stock and it'll take at least a few weeks to get them.

USMC_Ram909 - Where are you located? I'm in San Jose, CA . You are welcome to swing by and do a test fit with the wheel&tire that I've got if you'd like to see it on your truck.

One thing to keep in mind and I wish I would of thought of it. If you ever plan to lift your truck, most lift kits will require 20 inch rims to clear the tie rods.

Wileybob- I appreciate the offer, I wish I was close enough to make a drive but i live down in San Bernardino area. Ya that's what I'm worrying about is when they're stuffed if I'm gonna rub on something.

Right now I think I'm set on the XD127 in all black with 35x12.5 Grabber X3's. I called around and apparently they don't make the grey and black XD127's in 17x8.5 5x5.5 only black

Beauregard7765- thanks for the heads up but she won't be seeing a lift for a few good years till my warranty is up.

Think I'm sold on the Fuel JM2's 17x8.5 -6 offset with 35x12.5x17 grabbers. There should be no issues with rubbing right?
