and remember the wear on the bearings, when you go to far out of spec on the offset you change the wear on the bearings. had one friend who disregarded the offset specs and 18K later had to have all the front bearings replaced on his 4WD rig because he did not pay attention to the bearing loads. Be careful where you go with this, it may cost you more than you think.

Agreed but thats usually the guys running an already ridiculous offset of like -40mm then push them out even further. This should be no different than anyone running like method wheels or any other wheel that sits flush with the fender at around 12-18mm + offset.

Couldn't get the local shops to put the 325/60 Ridge Grapplers on my factory wheels so I ordered a new set of Gear Allow +18 offset wheels instead. Just got them installed today and I have my full turning radius back, very pleased with how it turned out.

To be fair. They wear out quite fast with stock height rims and tires lol. These hd ram hubs suck

Looking to upsize my tires on stock 18” rims (stock 275/70/18). Stock suspension. Don’t want rub. Anyone have some experience here?
