So I need some advise, again...:shooter:


I want the General Grabber AT2's which I previously had on another vehicle, and loved.

They have 3 size options that I am looking at, mind you these will be for my 06 Ram 1500 4x4 with a 2" HBS level and 20's...

305/50
33 12.50
35 12.50

Mind you I love the look of a truck that has the wheel wells stuffed, and I do not wheel at all, just the occasional trip around my yard, lol...

WWRFMDD?

This truck has a 2.5 hell bent level with 1/4 wheel spacers and 35's.

It looks great. But if you only have a two inch level I would stick with 33's. Just my opinion.

33/12.50s should look perfect

Pics not working ^

If you can fit 35's I would go that route. Right now your tires should be 33" so if you like that look the 33x12.5 will look similar but a little wider.

Do eeet! 35x12.5x20's with spacers. :waytogo:
Looks like the only issue you would have, would be solved by a simple spacer. hub centric of course.

I believe his only issues were with factory wheel offset. Easily fixed by that 1/4 spacer.

Where can these spacers be obtained? A onsite vendor by chance? And are spacers legal and inspectable?

I got mine off eBay for a good price, but I'm sure a vendor on here could give just as good or a better deal lol. I really don't think they're illegal? (someone will have to clarify that one), and from what I understand all there is to it is just maintaining..like making sure everything's tight so your wheel doesn't go flying off on the highway :rotflmao:

I keep seeing photos with the 2.5" HBS and I'm getting concerned that the 1/2" will make more of a difference than I think lol

Decided on the 33's fellas...don't feel like spending more than I have to and still have issues with the 35's. $337 per tire mounted and balanced. That sound about right? Seems expensive to me, but it is a 20" wheel
