I like 18’s, I almost went that size myself, I just couldn’t find one I liked that came in the width and offset I needed at the time

What offset were you looking for JB1? I found these in a zero offset, from +18 stock to these should push the tires out 3/4" + the wheels are 9" instead of my factory 8" so that should add another 1/2" for a total of 1 1/4" inches wider on both sides....that's how it figures out on paper anyway, kind of nervous as I can't picture what it's going to look like, lol!
Your right though, hard to find the right wheel with the right offset with the right bolt pattern with the right bore size, lol!

see this is what i been looking for. tires definitely do not look too small!
i was worried 1.5" bl on top of bils @2.8 and 1.5" rear spacer would make tires look too small.
lookung around it seems it would look same as a 2500 really

thanks for the pic & info
Your very welcone outdoors 76! The bills @ 2.8 and the body lift should work out to around 4" of lift, that would be around the same as my truck. The Rams don't have much fender to tire space like the ford's and G.M, they need lift but not necessarily big tires unless going 6" or more, then need big rubber arh arh arh! ! Lol

Not a lift but 2.8 bilstien level, stock 20x9 sport wheels 295/65-20 Ridge Grapplers. They do scrub the sway bars at full lock but just barely a 5mm spacer or a tire without a crazy side wall would be smooth. I plan to run a spacer but not sold on how much I want to stick out. The pictures are without any spacer.

In case anyone is wondering about tires, these are quieter than the G2's I had. As well they are taller than a 35 by half an inch.

I just love these stock wheels...... I also have ridge grapplers in 35s when I’m ready for another set of tires I’m going to do the ridge grapplers again. They are truly a nice tire

I’m not 100% but I might throw a 4/3 lift and set the bitsteins to 2.1. Not sold on it yet but I like the more stuffed look than the standing over the tires look personally. For stock wheels and offset though I’m getting more content every day. One thing I won’t be do my is getting different wheels.

Awesome truck! Love the look. I almost went with those tires on the same 2.8 setup, but decided to go with the 285/65R20 BFG A/T on the stock wheels. I don't have any rubbing.

I was in the same boat, a tiny spacer would fix it. It only just barely kisses the sway bar, everywhere else I have plenty of room. Might have fit 37’s the unicorn 2wd guy can

I have a '16 Ram Express 2WD, contemplating the MaxTrac 7"/4.5" lift kit.

I currently have the 20x8ET19.1 OEM wheels, with practically new 275/60R20 tires.

Lifting a 2WD truck aside, how goofy will I look running my current wheel/tire combination with the lift?

To save face should I just wait till funds allow the purchase of a 35/11.5R20 A/T tire to add with the lift install?

Thanks for your input.

Just got the 6” Procomp installed with 35s

Glad I went 6” and give myself ability to go 37s in the future.

Will get more/better pics later this weekend if the rain stops if anyone is interested!!View attachment 128652 View attachment 128653
I love the setup brotha!!!! Almost like mine. At this point if I can go back I would do a 37 instead of my 35” tire. These Nitto ridge grapplers are awesome

New member here just had a couple questions, also a bunch of beauty rigs up in this thread!

I'm looking at a bilstein level on my 2015 sport, gonna do all 4 corners dont plan on hauling currently, do I need spacers in the back? Planning on running Duratracs was curious if anyone knows how big I can go on the stock 20" rim without rubbing.

Do I gotta worry about replacing anything else with a level? First time truck owner and modder

^^damn that looks great, congrats

:happy107:

Appreciate it...I saw the pics of yours recently and the same to you. You’ve got a great looking truck yourself.

Yeah I was actually set on a 4” kit but it was backordered so I told the shop a 6” kit will do. Looking at it now I’m glad it worked out this way bc I feel like I’d have an underwhelming feeling going just 4”.

Now I’m only wishing I did a 37. But I can live for now and when these wear out I’m sure I’ll get the same tire just in a 37” size.

Your truck looks great and was the main reason I had confidence and kept OEM wheels. glad I did bc I think both of our trucks look perfect. I’m not the biggest fan of looking down the side of my truck and seeing half of my tire sticking out.

Definitely grab more pics man I like your set up, nice and clean. Did you have it leveled before the lift or was there rake? Looks nice and level now and good height to also.
