2024 Warlock 1500 Classic and 315 70 17

[Bigskyroadglide]

Below are photos of my 2024 Warlock 1500 classic. I was not happy with how the 20s looked on the truck and wanted a more 4x4 look.

When I ordered the truck 17s were an option but the tires were 33s. I knew if I selected these as wheel /tire combination
I would still change them out and would end up selling the 17s, whereas I have a use for the 20s on another truck.

So with that plan sorta in my head, I embraced looking for 17s and 35 inch tires.

Most 35s, I looked at appeared to be too wide for what I was trying to do forcing me into spacers, longer wheel studs or a lift kit. All of which I wanted to avoid.

My focus was on a potential level, if necessary with Bilsteins F & R.

I'm happy to report, I mounted my 17 x 8 positive 18 offset wheels with 315 70 17 Cooper At3s XLT tires yesterday. At 34.6 inches tall and 12.4 inches wide they fit the fender wells perfectly, did not rub the upper control arm (1/4 inch space), did not rub the front inner fender in back or the sway bar at full lock in front.

My wheels sit exactly where I want at the edge of the fender flares, I was able to keep my form fit Mopar front splash guards and made zero changes to the Warlock stock suspension.

As a confession, I did reach out to @Quick_Shifter and @Adamcr68. Both gave me solid advice, which I promptly ignored so if I have problems in the future then this is 100% on me.

Guys thank you for responding with absolutely solid recommendations.

In summary, stock 2024 ram 1500 classic warlock, 35s, on 17s positive 18 offset, no rub no alterations required at the current time.

I do have bora 10mm hub centric spacers in hand and have not decided if they are necessary. I do know they fit and I have the necessary mounting depth to avoid changing wheel studs.

Thanks

Looks great! Good choice with the 10mm spacers, if you end using them, I had to cut my studs to make my spacers work.
When I decided to get rid of the spacers Quick-Shifter had to replace all the studs, I was around 70k & did front hubs & rear bearings at the same time so it worked out but to do it over I wouldn’t cut them again.

These are .375, they slip over existing studs. I've got 11.5 turns without them and 8 with them. Engagement calls for seven, so I think I'm good,, I hope.

Reprogramed the tire size today 315 70 17 = 2742 mm. Speedo was 3 mph high at this setting. 2650 got it dead on with GPS. Variation is 92mm.

Truck started on 275 60 20 which is 2633 but original setting in bcm was 2550. Variance was 83 mm.

It was dead on before tire change so adjustment seems in line. I'm assuming this is tire squash due to vehicle weight. If anyone knows, please inform me

Fyi only

Damn you guys got no snow at all,lol. Truck looks good Big

Yep, was pretty much my findings when i was adjusting my truck for 35’s. Was probably 7 years ago so dont really remember, but think i set them to 34.5 or 34.25.

To me it really didnt matter what the heck i had to set them at, as long as when all said and done the speedo was correct.

@Wild one February was brutal, lots of days below zero temp, many of those days with snow. I shoveled alot of those mornings. March happened, the schnook came through and the days have been in the 40s, some days in the 60s and the snow has vanished.

Winter was brief and concentrated into the February timeframe. At least where I reside.

We basically have no snow here either in southern Alberta,and it's been one of the nicest winters i remember.I'm not complaining,but it's not doing the farming community much good though.We've had more 50F and 60F days this winter then 0F and colder days

Can you measure center of the wheel/hub to the edge of fender front and rear?

 

[Bigskyroadglide]

21.5 inches from center of hub to front and rear opening in rear. Total opening is 43

22 inches from center of hub to front and rear opening at front. Total opening is 44

Remember the warlock front bumper is more open in the front by design

Can I ask why?

Hope this helps

I went back to a different suspension setup which is essentially the warlock option shocks. I never took original measurements way back when I changed all my suspension out so I'm just looking for rough estimate on where the truck might sit height wise. Truck still sits a little tall for what I'm trying to accomplish right now so I'm lowering it down.

I'm currently in the middle of buying a new house, a second child on the way etc, so it's easier for me to set the truck back closer to a stock setup until I get caught up with life.

I appreciate the reply.

Edit

I realize I worded my original question funny. Can you measure the height from center of the hub to the edge of the fender vertically?

Essentially I'm trying to gauge the rake I'll have front to rear and compare the overall difference in ride height compared to my current setup.

 

[Bigskyroadglide]

Sure,

 

[Bigskyroadglide]

Rear, center of hub to fender 23.3/4 ,P side
Front center of hub to fender 22, P side
Rear. Center of hub to fender 23 1/2 D side
Front center of hub to fender 22. D side

I have a full tank of gas.
Hope this helps

Thank you a ton! This is perfect

Truck looks great. Might have to go this same route with my '21 Warlock. Been contemplating 285/75/17's but now this may be the route I go. I really want the biggest tire I can fit on stock suspension.

 

[Bigskyroadglide]

If I had to do again, I stay with an 11.5 tire vs a 12.4. No special reason other than clearance
