have my stock 2018 powerwagon finally riding on some real rubber.

35x12.5/17 Load E Toyo RT
17 Method NV
running 45PSI Front and 35PSI Rear
Stock Suspension

Rub on the rear lower plastic liner the juts out near the bottom outside corners of the front wheel wells. about 50% to full to lock it rubs.
only on slight off camber/uneven turns or with passenger. no wear yet, and i didnt want to chop anything because my lift is only a couple months away. no body modification if possible!
you could not offroad without constant rubbing. at least i wouldnt

Sucks that it rubs. Its hard to believe it could. Mine appears to have so much space in the front wheel well. I have a feeling I will just stick with the stock duratracs.

Truck looks great!!!. I want to put 35's on my 2018 pw but keep the stock wheels with no lift. Do you know if they would rub on stock wheel?

Also what type of lift are you getting? I can' find any lift or leveling kit for the 2017-18 pw. Except from aev and that one is very expensive for only 1 inch of lift

you may be ok with a 12.5 wide tire on the stock rims but i can not confirm. you may rub on sway bar or radius arm and not on the plastic wheel well.

im going to run a Thuren tuned King pintop shock kit. i couldnt care less about the actual amount of lift as im going for performance, not stance.

one of the top two most expensive kits for our trucks and as i have heard...the best kit for hemi specific tuning options geared towards your specific use.

Carli and Thuren have you covered.

you see it...you immediately need it...at least thats how i felt lol.

thank you and i absolutely agree! Dodge has brought the Powerwagon to the next level of brute nature and strength. All the while being crippled by computer and manufacturer interference with your ability to use it.

Great looking truck!

I've never checked out the Method NVs wheels before but they look good with those tires. Can you post a closer picture of the wheels/tires. I really like those but ideally I wouldn't want any chrome accents on it.

Now I'm torn between these and AEV Katla wheels. I only ever see AEV products on Jeeps though, so not sure if they'd look out of place.
