Guide to Leveling & Wheel and Tire Sizing for 06+ 4wd Ram 1500's

[DRkNESS]

I own a set of 20x9 ET 25 Hellcat wheels. I want to put LT295/60 tires on. I'm currently running Bilsteins on all (4) corners with the fronts set at 2.1. Is this doable without spacers, or should I stick with an LT 275/60 tire ? I don't off road or use it in the woods or beach, yet I want a slight aggressive look with these wheels. What say yee folks ?

I want these same wheels for my factory suspension 16' 1500 in a 22x10 with a +25 offset and the seller guarantees they'll fit with no spacers or mods and no rubbing with 305/40 wheels and I just don't see how they won't rub. Wish I could figure it out so I can order everything but I'm lost.

That's exactly how I was with another set of wheels. I was guaranteed that they would fit. I was also told that if I mounted a tire on it even to test it, I wouldn't be able to return them. I know a lot of these installs are done by trial and error, I just don't have the patience to be THAT person. One thing that I've found, even though the trucks may all say the same, not all 1500's are created equal.[emoji848]

Yeah I dunno what to do, I hate to spend a few grand on a whole wheel and tire setup and it not fit. I found another wheel I like but the hellcat wheels look amazing.

What is the offset on those wheels. In the other thread I figured you were talking about stock wheels

On a 4x4 I also don't see how.a 295 tire wouldn't rub let alone a 305.

I'm having the same issue, I want wheels like his with +25 offset but 22" and I want to put 285/45 tires but I don't know if they'll rub. Some have told me they won't and others said I need 3/8 spacers. I'm stuck

Just to play it safe, I'm going to stick with a 275/60 tire and deal with it lol...

Let me know how they fit. That +25mm offset is a ball breaker.

Will do, the good part is I only paid $800 total for these wheels so if it doesn't work no loss. Also if it doesn't work, I've already contacted a company about doing the wheels that are currently on there in " black chrome " which is what I really wanted.

I run 22x10 hellcats with a 305/45r22. I use 3/8in spacers and have no problems at all. I'm a 4x4.

^^^.Good to see as I am hoping that a 20x9 with factory sized tires will do. Again if not I know how to go back to my original wheels. Just to make sure, I've grabbbed a set of oem tpms sensors to add to these wheels so that my original ones can just be bolted back on if needed.

As quietpeen stated, that setup won't work without spacers. You'd need to either stick with a 275 wide tire or add a set of 10mm hub centric spacers from Motorsport Tech.

^^^. Just the person whom I was hoping would join in with his knowledge. Knowing that I don't really want spacers, I can accept sticking with a 275 sized tire. I just want a A/T look without being over the top. Hopefully Toyo will have something that suits that in a 275/60 fitment.

Yes, you could still have ball joint issues with running leveling spacers with the Mevotech UCA's. Multiple people have had failures with Mevotech's and spacers. This is why I recommend Zone UCA's if you are going to spend the money on an upgrade.
Bilstein 5100's are still a better option all around.

For the tire fitment, you won't be able to run 35x12.5r17's on stock wheels. You'd need wheel spacer or aftermarket wheels that provide more clearance on the suspension side of things.

The short answer is no , unless your ucas are in bad shape now .
