First off sorry if this has been covered before. I looked but didnt find any sure answers. I'm new to the aftermarket truck stuff. Always been into cars. My 2012 ram big horn is in need of some rubber soon. I'm looking to ditch the 20s and go to a 17" wheel. I like the more tire less wheel look. Truck is stock height, obviously I'm going to have to level it. Going to use Billstein shocks. My question is this. With 33's or 35's on a leveled truck do they rub at all? Obviously I know offset has something to do with it. If anyone has pics of 17's and 33 or 35's on their truck I would appreciate it.

I'm so looking to get flares. Dont want ones that stick out far. I like the factory ones that come on the rebel or 2500 trucks. Do they make something like that aftermarket for our trucks?

Thanks in advance

I run 17x9 wheels with -12offset, and 315/70/17 which are the metric equivalent to 35x12.5x17 Rancho 2" quick lift and Zone UCA's, with Icon 1.5" rear springs, zero rub on/offroad, recently discovered if my truck is aligned with 3* caster, the driver front tire will rub on the plastic seam almost at full lock, 4.5* caster cures that.

That looks great. That's even the flares I'm looking for. I'm assuming those are OEM josh?

Yep oem flares also only slight rub turning right not left on those at 2.3" level at 2.5" should be set.
