zero offset will result in only clearing a 12.5, i run with -5mm right now and clear 12.5's but its tight if turned all the way.

White Beauty,
What wheel diameter and width are you using with the -5mm offset?

Keep in mind you're running toyos and they actually measure 12.99 wide :)
I know people would have run 13.00+ with 5" backspacing. All depends on the sidewall

in theory, according to the specs, should be fine.

Cant say for sure since I don't think anyone runs them here

Im running 35x12.5x20 on new wheels with -12 offset. Only have HB 2.5" leveling on 13' 4x4. I would like to see a little more clearance but do like the look sooooo much more. Like someone had said on here before, once you start with a level/lift all you want to do is get higher.....hmmmm...

I have the Bilsteins on the on the front of mine maxed out to 2.8" and a 1" rear spacer. Sits just higher in the rear but can't tell uunless you put a tape to it. After that I ran a 20" Fuel rim 1 offset and 35x12.5r20 Toyo ATII extremes. No rubbing and a great ride.

so i think he is going with the bfg's km2's 35x12.5x18. he is looking at aftermarket rims. should he go with just stock 18x9 rims or should he get some offset rims? how much of a offset to be safe?

there are no stock 18" rims for rams. Only 17 and 20. I would look for a 18x9 wheel with around zero offset
