rim and tire question..

[awcain96]

I have a 01 dodge ram 5.2v8 sport. And I'm looking at a set of 18x9 fuel throttles offset +20, backspacing 5.75, hub bore 110.30. With a set of 295/70/18 nitto trail grapplers. Will the rims fit on my truck right with the offset and backspacing. And also what is the bolt pattern for my type truck, I think its 5x5.5 anyone who can give me any help I'd really appreciate it.

Yep 5x5.5. Are you lifted? i have that exact tire and tire size with a -12 offset rim and i rub slightly on full lock. I'm a 3rd gen 4x4 leveled.

I have a leveling kit On it right now. That +20 offset want make a big difference will it. I don't know a whole lot about rim backspacing and offset.

It definitely will. Negative offset will push the wheel and tire further out of the fender. Positive offsets push it in. Generally, to fit larger tires without so much lift like you and I have, negative offset wheels are what is needed.

Thanks appreciate you helping me out.

Oh quick question where did you find a set with negative offset all the one I've looked at on eBay with a wheel and tire package. All the fuel throttles for my bolt pattern have +20 offset.

I see what you mean. I'd say check out the fuel website to see if they offer that particular wheel in a negative offset. I have Xd Monsters on mine and they are offered in multiple negative offsets. Here is a clear shot of my setup, same size tire and and size rim you are looking for, 295/70/18 Trail Grappler
