Kinda already know the answer but how bad would i rub with 20x12 rims on 37x13.5 tires on a 2 inch level. The truck is a 2009 2500 hemi 4x4. Thanks.

It's going to rub really bad depending on the backspace and the offset of the wheels. If your wheels have at least a 5.0" backspace and a +18 offset then I think the only thing you would need to do is a little trimming on the inner fenders where they meet at the bottom of the bumper. I believe this works and only rubs if you hit a big bump or dip while turning to where the suspension loads and unloads.

What are the specs of your 20x12 wheels?

Do you plan to run a wheel spacer?

I have 35's on stock 20" rims with 4" lift and they rub on the UCA and limit my turning radius. Just put 6mm spacers on and it helped some but still rubs at lock. Passenger side is worse than drivers side.

Mines a 3rd gen 2500 so while I dont have an UCA to worry about i think everything else might get victimized on hard turns lol because the 4th gen wheel wells are more roomy
