Sport aluminum wheels are 20x9. Also 35s will fit, I put my tires on the day before I leveled my truck. Not the best way to do it but I did it to avoid waiting another 2 weeks. On stock suspension mine rubbed quite a bit but since I leveled it to 2.1 on the bils 5100 series it only rubs lightly now at a full left turn.

Have you got any pics?

Also did you use spacers or not?

I've got some on my phone, I'm about to head to lunch so as soon as I get near some better service I'll post them.

As for spacers, no I did not. Not a big fan of spacers honestly.

"I have 37" X 12.50 X 20" **** Cepek Fun Countys on my 2016 3500 and I am running 20" X 9" ( +18 ) 5.7" backspacing.

**** Cepek website say the 37" X 12.50 Fun Countrys will fit a rim from 8.5" to 11", with a optimal size of 10"

Well the wheel selection saga continues!

Trying to find a steel wheel with the proper hub bore and all the other proper specs is proving to be a giant pain in the butt! At this point I'm saying screw it and going with an aluminum painted/powdercoated wheel.

I realize of course that it may start to look a little crappy as time goes on, but I'll live with that (naturally I won't be selecting an expensive aluminum wheel!).

With that said, I'm eyeing some Procomp wheels that are a -6mm offset and a 4.75" offset.

Also, in case anyone is curious, these are the ones I'm looking at.

I've seen some pictures of these in 17x9 form and damn they look good! Now, the next question is finding out if they can be run with hub rings. Sadly my heart was set on Method Standards, but they are purely lug centric according to Method, and that's a no-go for me.

My understanding is that those wheels should easily fit a 315/70R17 tire on them and clear everything (with my 2.5" front level of course). Am I wrong on that?

*edit* Well, just realized that the hub bore on the Procomps is some stupid amount like 130.something, likely meaning that they are not capable of being hub-centric. Back to the drawing board!

My 17 Sport's build sheet says I have 20x9 semigloss black wheels. The window sticker under standard equip section said 20x9 and under options section it says 20x8 so I don't know which factory provided info is actually correct. Only way to know for sure what you have is to measure and subtract the wheel thickness,

Or just look on the backside. Isn’t it engraved/embossed on the back?

Yup that would work too. I didn't really care as an 8" wheel has always been wide enough for any tire I have needed on a Ram or Wrangler. I just wanted to show how screwed up the documentation alone is for one truck can be and people making blanket statements about what width certain wheels are.

Hi guys,

I do apologize if this has been asked before (I did spend some time searching but wasn't able to find an answer to what exactly I was looking for), but I was wondering if you guys might know if a set of 35x12.5x20 tires (General Grabber AT2's specifically) would fit on a set of the 20" OEM rims.

I can't recall specifically what year these ones (see picture) are, but I believe they are the 20x9's, but I'm not certain.

I'm looking to run these for the winter.

From what little I was able to dig up from threads it seems like most folks suggest running spacers if you were going to do a 12.5" wide tire, and unfortunately General doesn't have a 20" that is 11" wide.

I may take a gander at the Duratrac's and see if I can find a set of 11" wide ones that may work better if people suggest 12.5's just won't work without spacers.

Jared
Running the general Grabber ATX on stock 20's. Been good with no complaints
