Warlock Wheel Offset and Backspacing Question

[tswannnlk]

Hey there. I currently have a 2021 Warlock that I am looking to get some new tires and wheels for. I am set on putting some Toyo RT trail's on the truck and have been looking at getting Raceline Ryno wheels. Ideally I have heard and seen from other people that a 0 offset wheel creates a good stance. Unfortunately the Ryno wheels only come in -12mm offset for a 5x5.5 bolt pattern. I believe that the stock wheels are 18mm offset. Do any of you guys have experience with -12mm offset wheels on a 4th gen ram? I took the fender flares off my truck so I am worried that without them there will be too much poke outside the fender. An info or pics would be appreciated.

Based on looking at the raceline website, they come in positive 18 offset in an 18 x 9 wheel to fit the 21 warlock

Oh sorry I forgot to mention that I am going with 17 inch wheels. They only have -12 for 17x9 5x5.5 bolt pattern

The Toyo RT trail's also come in 18s, why make life hard? Your truck your money, your call.

I just prefer the look of 17s over 18s. Mainly trying to see if anyone has any pictures of a what a -12mm offset would look like

It’s a 12mm difference, you really won’t notice much difference over 0.

Good choice sticking with 17s, besides looking better it’s a lot easier to find 17” tires

That's what I was thinking too. I read in an article that the backspacing between a 0mm and 12mm offset is about half an inch if both rims are 9 inches wide. Is this true?

12mm = .47" difference in offset. But to your point, yes.

As long as the wheels are the same width, you can (in general) treat backspacing and offset as the same thing. 1/2" change in one is a 1/2" change in the other.

Awesome thank you. I guess its unfortunate that Raceline doesn't make them with 0 offset but Ill go ahead with the -12mm. A little bit of the tire outside the fender won't hurt. The negative offset should also help with any rubbing issues with the 35's

I have 17x9” -12 offset on my truck, it’s an express not a warlock, tires are right at the edge of the flares.
I also like the more tire look of the 17’s.

Thanks so much that helps a lot. It seems as though I will have about an inch or two of tire outside the fenders on my truck considering I have removed the fender flares.
