Anyone ever run or know someone who has run the OE Wheels Rebel replica wheels? Looking at them for my 2013 1500, looking for any real world opinions, link below. They have an 18mm offset, about how far can I expect that to stick out from the wheel well?

Will also need new TPMS sensors. Will the truck just pick up the sensors once they are installed or do I have to go to the dealer for them to be programmed or something like that?

Here are the wheels:

I have heard of OE wheels I have actually looked at a set for my Charger. You really cant get hurt with that price.

I'm looking at the same wheels for my RAM Classic that's on order. The OE DG55 (Rebel replica) wheels are 17x8+18, so they'll sit slightly farther outboard than my stock wheels, which are 17x7+25.4. The replica wheels have a backspace of 5.21" vs. 5.0" for the stock wheel.

Didn't I read somewhere that 33 or 35" was better with a 1/4" spacer anyways? Sounds like this covers that.

I like my tires to sit just flush (very slightly inside) the fenders, and this should help. I had 20x9+18 wheels on my 2015 2500 with OEM fender flares and it was "just right."

I bought and had installed the 2017-era Rebel wheel replicas (DG55) seen here:


I wrapped them with LT285/70R17 tires to match what the Rebel was running because I knew it would fit, and they did. Just about flush too. I love them. The only thing that "barely" concerns me is what I first thought was a low load capacity, which OE Wheels stated was 2,105 lbs. However, that's enough for my truck's Gross Axle Weight Rating of 3,900 lbs front and back, so no worries I guess.

@Southbay let me know if you have any questions about them.
