This is why 35's look like crap on stock wheels.

I like both the raceline and CJC wheels, however I really wish they’d stop it with the fake beadlocks...

I dunno. Whoever owns the place, I guess.

Yeah, on Tapatalk in portrait mode, that part is cut off. Anyhow, it is a moot point. The OP has a PW and wheel dimensions are the same through and through.

I do not understand big wheels that stick out slinging slush, mud, salt all over the body. On my way back from an overnight trip of 300 miles to visit family, the roads were a mess and I was in the right and lane of a freeway heading east when this huge noise hit my ears and a 1500 Dodge with mud tires sticking out at least four inches tore by. There are fines for this protrusion past the fender if caught but the deal to me is what purpose does this serve? Does it look cool? Not to me and others I know. Is it a functional performance thing? I do not think so. But go to it, it is your money and truck. I hate muddy mirrors, side panels and windows. I already have tires sticking out a bit past the fenders due to me trusting a shop to order the right rims for my winters. Rule one, never trust anyone to order the right rims unless you check them for specs.

Factory width and offset blah blah blah what?

Full disclosure, I may or may not be running 1” wheel adaptors to adjust offset

As a tween (40+ years ago) a neighbor had a '74 (IIRC) PW and I was properly impressed.

I have the stock 20" wheels on mine. Would love to get nice aftermarkets but hard to justify spending the money...lol. Which is funny cause I use to race cars and built my own motors. I'd spend $10k on an engine without even thinking about it....lol. At 50 years old there are other priorities higher on my list...lol. My son has the same truck and would like aftermarkets but his get all scraped up from the job site. He has the steel gray so it would look great with a darker wheel

 

[thkbaron]

I don't think the words nice and aftermarket really go together unless you are getting forged wheels. Of course I like them too but I really think most oem wheels are better than most aftermarket ones. Finally I'm getting my 315s put on this Friday. Keeping the stock 17's.

I picked this truck up last Summer and had to replace the tires in Winter cause the Firestone's were slipping and sliding all over the road.
I went with 295/70/18 Cooper AT3 XLT's Since my budget is limited I am saving to upgrade the gears from 4.10 to 4.56, or 4.88's.
Not sure they look like crap on the stock wheels?

I agree on not liking the look but the first thing I wonder is how long till they’re replacing wheel bearings.

I guess this is the purpose of the discussion guys. How to maximize the tire without sticking out too far (bro dozer as they call it), but to get the preferred off road performance, while retaining on road ride. Personally, I prefer my on road ride with 37s, and I know for sure I can tackle much more extreme terrain off road. If you get the right spec wheel they will give you a little more room in the wheel well for a bigger tire while being reasonable with tire reveal outside of the fender. I would say mine is pretty well tucked. As far as wheel bearings the stock power PW wheels have some serious positive offset at about +45mm. Figure at +22mm offset I am only moving the centering of a tire/rim by about 1" outboard.

edit:

I realized this was for heavy duty rams not 1500’s so my comment wasn’t valid

I was gonna say, because the 20’s on both my new halfton and my old halfton were 9” wide. Lol. I’m not sure about the smaller diameter halfton wheels.

Stock 18x8 rims - anyone put bigger tires on those? I'd need load range E off road tires.

 

[Walkdog]

I have a very similar Fuel wheel on my truck. That gray center looks pretty good with that max steel color truck. and +20 offset is the way to go. Doesn't stick out too far and is the best offset for clearing larger tires. Mine are +18 and I would never go further then 0 or a negative offset. Not unless you are going for the bro dozer look that all the kids are running these days.

Payload is 2030 lbs.... Not the best for a 2500 but works for what I need around the farm and family needs

I do not understand big wheels that stick out

I personally like the aggressive look of a truck with a wider stance. Just a visual thing to me. That being said, my last two truck had wheels that stuck out some and as you mentioned and I could barely get out of the driveway without slinging crap all over the sides. For this reason, my new truck got 0 offset wheels. The tires are even with my fender flares which keeps the sides clean. I'd rather spend my time fishing instead than washing the truck so some dumb **** doesn't rub up against the truck and grind the sand into the paint in a parking lot somewhere...

...and actually more than a full ton. Haven't figured out the payload on my '20 1500 yet, but my '15 1500 was 16xx, or more than 50% over a half ton.

Of course, "payload" includes everything above empty weight, so if 4-5 full-size Americans hop in the cab you can be pretty close to max right there...

Hey Moose, what tire do you have. love the look. nice job

Thanks brotha.. nitto mud grapplers 35x12.50. No spacers all stock. The looks out weigh the noise, I just turn up the radio a lil more.
