Hey everyone:
I'm relatively new here, but not new to trucks or modifying them.
I have a 2006 Ram 1500 SLT BigHorn with factory 20in alloys running 275/60/R20 Nitto Terragrapplers. In the winter, I switch to 275/65/R20 Duratracs. (The factory size 275/60/R20s convert to 33s, and the 275/65/R20s convert to 34s).
When I first got the Duratracs, my front tires rubbed on my PDP mudflaps at full lock, but only slightly. I fixed the issue my drilling two small holes thru the mudflap and fender splash shield on both sides, and zip-tying the inner edge out of the way.
I'm planning to purchase the Rough Country 2.5in level/lift which adds 2.5in coil spring spacers up front, and a 1.5in block in the rear with new shocks.
My question is, will 35s rub using the factory rims? If so, will a -12mm offset rim fix the issue, or do I need to look into getting .25in wheel spacers?
I've heard many claims that the 3rd gen Rams can stuff 35s without rubbing on just a level, but I want to be sure before I order anything.
Here is a link to a thread with one conversation I've seen: FYI, I have the same rims, and want the same tires.
Yay or nay, 35s on 06+ stock 20s? - DodgeTalk : Dodge Car Forums, Dodge Truck Forums and Ram Forums
I'm concerned because everyone who says, "I've got no rubbing issues at all!" has either an 03-05 Ram, or an 07-08 Ram; it's very difficult to find any info on an 06.
Any input would be GREATLY appreciated, regardless of the year of your 3rd gen.
Thanks guys (and gals).
