add a 1.25-1.75" spacer in the rear you will be extremely happy with the results.

I have a TGC (top gun customs) spacer, check them out. good pricing to!

IMO 18" rims with larger tires look better than 20s. Its that perfect ratio of tire to rim.

on the move..

Yeah I agree had to get rid of the 20 inch wheels. I will do a little off roading too so I wanted more side wall.

First off I love the wheel and tire combo, your truck looks great!

I believe I've got 295/65/20, I noticed my turning radius isn't that great and I don't like it. What do you all recommend? I've seen some with spacers on the front but I can't say that I like the front wheels extending wider than the back look?

I have 1 inch spacers all around. Put, 200000km on a ranger with wheel spacers and no issues at 30k on the ram and no issues yet

I have never used spacers. The turning radius seems great with the new tires or at least no worse than it was with the factory set up.

Those look great! Had black wheels on my last rig. My new2500 takes 18s. All of the 18" tires I've looked at were pretty pricey. Was that the case on yours??

Tires were 288.00 each at Discount Tire. They took my factory tires in on trade for 60.00 each so that helped.
