lift wheel spacers question

[bryangoody]

i have a 2013 ram 1500. going to put a 6" lift with bilsteins for more lift. want to keep my 20x9 rims. how big of wheel spacers should i put on. i want to put on these buchwacker fender flares with either 35x12x20 or 295/65-20. not sure which tire size i should go either. but what size spacer should i put on the make the tires just barely fit inside the fender flares without sticking out

If you just wanted the tires to fit with those rims, you only need 1/4" spacers. To move them outwards flush with the flares, you need 2". I'm not the biggest fan of spacers bigger than 1/4" but hopefully someone else will help if that part of it.

If you want them flush save up for rims and do it all at once. Wish I had done that instead of running mine through stages and money.

they way I understood it was a 2" spacer will get the tire flush with the flares so if you want them to be just inside get a spacer less than 2". OR get new rims wide enough so you don't need spacers for your tires to fit. That's the way I took the replies to your question

I've got some 1" spacers for sale

what?

If you use the stock wheels with a small spacer and Bushwacker flares it will make the wheels look too tucked in and look stupid. I'd just spend the extra $1000 and get some nice rims and do it right the first time
