Want Some Wheel Opinions!

[Exdeus]

Hey all -

Recently purchased a 2015 RAM and am building it out for long range camping / expedition travel and some trail running / mild offroading.

I've got the Icon Stage 2 kit on its way with Icon upper control arms (shout out to Nick @ Got Exhaust). I will likely lift a bit and then level it off. I'm also looking to add new wheels and tires to the truck and am trying to decide which set to go with so would love opinions. In terms of upcoming upgrades to it so you can visualize it, I will be removing the front bumper and replacing it with the AEV front bumper (black) and likely replacing the back bumper with an ADD rear bumper (black). I will keep the bed cover and add a utility rack from KB Voodoo for tent and tools. Steps coming off, sliders going on.

The wheels I am looking to add are likely 18" set so that I can put a 33" - 34" tire on and have the ability to air down. Curious your thoughts:

• AEV Mesa Wheel
• Fuel Vapor
• Fuel Tactic
• Fuel Vector

Was all about the Vapor's but am starting to lean towards the Vector's. Also, in regards to these in 18", I am looking to get a 33" to 34" tire. What the hell size tire do I need? I don't understand why it's so complicated, and yes, I read the sticky.

For tires, this is a daily driver that I put about 25,000 miles per year on. Debating between the Toyo Open Country A/T II, the General Grabber ATX, General Grabber A/T II or the Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac. Interested in opinions if anyone has them. Want to ensure my commute stays reasonable but that the tires are also reliable for trips / trails.

Appreciate y'alls insight. Picture of the truck as it sits now.

Personally I think black looks the best

Vector if I had to choose. Mine are 305/70/18 for reference its a 34.8"×12" tire. Wheels are ATX AX202 in bronze with 0 offset to give you an idea of how much those will stick out.

Personally My vote is for the AEV and wrap them with Nitto 35/12.5 Terra Grappler G2 and def get a matching spare tire n wheel

How do you like the G2s? I have been eyeballing these for a while. I know new tires will be coming due prob right after the first of the year.

Do you mean mine would stick out further? I'm trying to understand the wheels. I do not want wheels that stick out really far. First, I hate the look, but second, a lot of the trails I will be on are already going to be tight for a full-sized vehicle and I don't need any extra width. Just traction. I have the fender flares so I am okay with a bit more width, but nothing substantial. I need everything to be really sturdy.

No idea but Im sure they make a few color combos. I only looked for bronze to go with the max steel color cuz I didnt want to go solid black.

Mine at 0 stick out maybe 1/2 inch as long as you stay below -18 offset they shouldn't stick out much more than an inch.

Here is a offset chart for you that helps.

Pick of mine so you can see how far they stick out, 18x9s with -12mm offset with 35x12.50s
