I have a RC 2.5" leveling lift (2.5 in the front, 1 in the back). I've been looking through tire and wheel packages at Rimz One and have called a couple times to see if I would have any rubbing issues.

I know I can fit 35s height-wise, but the width is what I'm worried about. I have bushwacker fender flares so the main purpose of getting new wheels/tires was to go wider so they stick out closer to the edge of my fender flares.

The guy on the phone at Rimz One said the largest he would recommend would be 35x9 or 33x10. I currently have 275/60r20 which is basically 33x9 already.

I would like to do 20x10 wheels with 35x12.5 tires. I was wondering if anyone is running this with only a 2.5" lift?

Here's the package I was looking at: https://rimzoneonline.com/20x10-moto-metal-970-wheels-black-machined-finish-w-atturo-trail-blade-mt-35x12-50r20-tires.html

My buddy's 14 ram 1500 4x4 has 20x10 with 295/65r20 and only rubs on drivers side front, rear of the wheel well, only a 2.5 front level

I saw a 2016 Ram Sport at the dealer with a 2.5" levelling kit & 1" spacer on back with Cooper STT Pro 35x12.5x20's. Took it out for a test drive & there was no rubbing.

They were XD wheels...sorry I didn't ask what the offset was. Mine are -12mm 20x9's so if I had to guess, those were 20x9 -12mm or 0mm offsets.

Just so you know it's doable....the offset will be the determining factor.

I'm not sure how the 20x10 will change all of that though.

Rim width and backspacing is the big factor. The further the wheel and tire stick out the more chance of rubbing
