You do know those are 8 bolt rims right? I'd go with something with a bit more backspacing to save your hub bearings. That'll be tough with 10's

says this in the description "16 in. x 10 in., 8 x 6.50 in. Bolt Circle, 4.00 in. Backspace" i just assumed that meant 8 bolt, but what do you suggest for a slightly aggressive stance? to be honest i dont know to much about wheels and ive read a lot on the forum and google, but still only have a basic understanding

They will fit your 2500 and they will stick out ALOT
I have wheels with 4.06" of BS and the fill my flares perfectly

They will stick out about 2" from the body

17x9 XD Strikes with a -24 offset/4.06 backspace with 315/70/17
They rub right now on the front with just a 2" level
I have a set of adjustable control arms I'm waiting for new bolts to come for and am probably going up another inch in the front and inch and a half in the rear

I personally wouldnt run a steel wheel for anything other then offroad use, they are super hard to balance.

and as far as backspacing it all depends on what will clear and what stance you want, I went with -12 offset and it rubs pretty good at full lock on my 35's w/ stock suspension.

wow those are sweet, but i think that might be to much of an offset for me because my state has that stupid "wheels cant stick out more than 2" law..


but im calling out the the ram community, what (black) rims do you think would look good on my truck(? theyre going to be wrapped in 35" tires

best picture of it is a video...
