Pic Request: Bilstein leveling with THESE factory wheels

[jgruberman]

I'm a hugely visual person, i already have the 5100s and am debating to keep the factory wheels and just upgrade the tires. Does anyone have these wheels on their leveled 1500? Maybe with 35" tires?

Yeah, you're right... I ended up Photoshopping the other guys truck with my ACTUAL stock wheels, and adjusting the color levels to change it to black... I think I've found a winner... 2.1" in the front, nothing in the back, stock wheels and 35x12.5R20 tires. Going to upgrade the wheels at some point, but for cost conservation... might stick with these for a bit... thoughts?

When I leveled my truck it was just supposed to be a placeholder until I lifted it for real 4" or 6". Now that I have made it down my favorite trails with no issues and it rides so nice, I'm not sure if I'll still lift it or leave it. Been spending more money on my Harley and other interests...

Actually I'm starting to get the Jeep itch again.

Well it's a great look for a non extreme lift, and I've always liked a smaller wheel with a larger tire but I really like the look yours has... Just needed to see it all together. I don't want anything extreme because I still want to fit in the garage and take people around that aren't "lifted truck fans", so 2" is a subtle change that isn't crazy

Hey Chipmaker, do you have a pic of the truck from the front end looking at the tires from the front? Curious if they stick out at all... pricing some fender flares perhaps

Very clean, I love the tread pattern. I think that most Ram wheels are the same offset, so if I wanted the tires sticking out a little like an inch or so, I'd probably need to put some spacers in. Or get some wheels with a little less offset. I think our Stock wheels are about +19...

If I'm REALLY lucky, someone who knows about wheel offset will chime in.

Really digging the Mastercraft's, good look and an even better price. Just have to find someone who sells them in Alaska.

 

[jgruberman]

Well my plan may be hampered... my stock wheels (pictured above) are only 8" wide whereas the Mastercraft 35x12.50R20 have a minimum rim width of 9.5.

If you have the chrome wheels.. They are 20x9 right? And the black 20s are 20x8. Either way, a different tire would be necessary.
I'm 99.9% sure this is correct.

And that particular tire is rated for 8.5-11 inch wide wheel, you're good... Though I wouldn't expect much from them cheap tires.

You should always double check specs on the manufacturers website, sometimes venders give wrong information. Same thing with rims.

aren't the wheels in the previous post 20x8?

 

[AustinB]

No. 20x9

I didn't notice. Yeah, I did check the rim width on the website which is why I thought I was out of luck... I thought my current wheel was 20x8. Thought I read it on a Dodge site... you positive they're 20x9?

I'm seeing both answers:
New Set 4 2015 Dodge RAM 1500 Chrome Clad 20" Wheels Rims Goodyear Tires | eBay

I found it saying 20x9 also in another listing...
