Hey all. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on the procomp 5034 wheels. I'm just in love with them. Before I order them online, will these work?
http://www.procompusa.com/wheels-product-details.aspx?pt=101508&lc=PXA&pqq=2336-1558-1551-1557&pqa=13677-8275-8060-8273

They are 18x9 8x6.5 bolt pattern with 0mm offset and with 5inch? Backspacing wrapped in 35x12.50r18 Will I have any rubbing? Will the tires come out the wheels wells more? I want to ask the experts here before I'm told "we can't install them because whatever won't clear because of offset or Backspacing ". I have a 15 2500 4x4 with a 2.5 leveling kit. Thanks.

You'll clear those no problem with a 2.5" level and a 0 offset. Backspacing is a bad way to measure as different manufactures have different backspacing for the same offset. With a 0 offset though, you'll be fine. They will stick out a good bit farther than stock though. I'd guess at least 2" more but I'm not 100% sure. Maybe someone else can chime in who's running a similar setup.

One thing to check though, I see the max load for the wheel is about 3400lbs. Make sure whoever you get to install them doesn't care. I've just had a whole saga with different people telling me though won't install tires that don't meet the factory load index (I wanted 124 v. the factory 125). These wheels have less load carrying capability than a 124 load index tire so that could be a problem at some places but I'm not 100% sure, just something to watch out for.

As stated above, that will all fit no problem. They'll be sticking out around 2" past your fender, 1" past OEM flares if you have them.

I have a 5th gen 2023 2500 Tradesman 4x4 with the 6.4 Hemi. I put 35x12.50R18 on Moto Metal MO970's 18x10 -25mm offset with 4.5" back spacing. Tires stick out fender wells a good 2-3" and they only rub at full lock on outside backside fender liner. Guts talk about cutting it but I took a heat gun heated plastic up and pushed it back so no longer any rub. I was told they would rub on factory radius arm but they don't at all.
