New 2019 Sport build.

[LaramieAdam]

Hey guys,

New to the half ton world, I've had diesels for a while now but living in a place with -40 weather I'm getting out of my Cummins. Besides I sold my trailer and only tow like 3000 -4000 lbs

I need some help here.

I'm thinking on a sport with a BDS 4" lift as I do mild offroad to haul bikes and other toys.

I want to do a 17" wheel and was curious If many people have 17 or even 18 wheels and what size tires. I'll have 3.92 gears but I want to keep a smaller tire as I dont want to cut up the truck and a 4" will give me plenty clearance.

I was thinking of fuel covert wheels but tires are tricky. 18 has some good options but 17 not so much.

I've thought about 255/80r17 (10" wide) but I hope those tires don't look to skinny. Then it jumps to 285 which is 11.2" wide

On my current truck I have 275 for winter and 285 for summer, I notice the 285 does make steering heavier, but they are on 10" wide wheels and are "full"

I I through in a pic of my current cummins and an example of what truck I'm looking at.

17” rims won’t fit over the brake package and many aftermarket 18s” won’t fit either.

I had an F150 and needed 18" with 12mm or less offset. On BDS website it says 17" fits with a certain offset

Sweet Cummins! Nice rim choice, go 18 with 35s, Cooper st maxx

The new 19s need 20” rims. Only certain 18s will fit due to the oversized brake package they come with. I have the previous still truck, A 2017 with 18s and 35s on a 3” lift and no rubbing. 4” with 35s should be good for you.

As far as I am aware there are no 17” wheels that will fit a DT model. You can always roll with oem 18” wheels and pair them with a nice aggressive A/T tire in a 33X11.50 fitment.

I want a nice beadlock style wheel as an offroad style truck. I have dirt bikes, a side by side, mtn bikes and snowmobiles. So I want a truck for moving that stuff around which sometimes involves mild offroading
