Hey guys,

New member looking for some advice. I have a 2019 1500, it came with 20” rims. -19mm offset, 275/55r20. I hate the rims and want more rubber so I can hit a rock without damaging anything. Was looking at some 18” rims with 0 offset. Which would in theory push my tire out, right? My other question is the caliper clearance. From the current 20” rim to the caliper, its about 1 5/16” of an inch. Would swapping down to 18”s rub? Or affect brake cooling, anything else stupid?

Thanks for the advice

stock rims will fit after market are a guessing game,
a lot of offset change can result in tire to fender clearance issues
