Wheel help and opinions.

Ok I really like the fuel blitz. I want to keep a 17. I want the dark tint but of course I can only get them in a 1 offset. Am I going to regret this decision? Will the look good on the all black powerwagon. I really like the wheel. Otherwise I’ll see what method has to offer.

I don't think you will regret the wheel size, style and color. They will look super sharp in an all-black Power Wagon. I am a big fan of this wheel.

Will the positive 1 offset suck? That’s what I’m most worried about. .5 to 3/4 outside the flare?

1 is perfect if you like brodozers. may as well get it leveled out for cherry on the top

It's not like he wants to run 24x14" with -1million offset... tons of guys run +18 wheels. My eyeballs aren't calibrated enough to instantly notice the 17mm (less than 3/4") difference when they're mounted on a truck.

OP, just know that you may have to do more trimming than if you ran something in a +18 to +27 range depending on what tire you're planning on running.

The saltas are +18 correct?

+27

 

[DinoRzrRam]

Methods recommended +18 as well

If I were getting new wheels and tires I would probably jump to 18" wheels. more clearance at the brake caliper for the dunder head tire guys who can't figure out how properly use weights with 17" wheels and I also love the 285-75-18 size tire tall and skinny. taller than 35x12.5-17's

Taller than 35 12.50R17's is true for a brand's same tire type. The Toyo M/T 285 75R18 is listed as 35.1" on their website and it is taller than the 35 12.50R17. It is one of the tallest 35" tires available.

Our 2014 Ram Cummins Crew Cab is running the Toyo A/T III 285 75R18 of which they list as 34.8". My 2016 Ram Power Wagon runs the Toyo C/T 35 12.50R17 of which they also list as 34.8". Toyo doesn't manufacture a Toyo C/T 285 75R18, but if they did it would be taller than my Power Wagon's tires.

Ram HD specific: http://www.cjcoffroad.com/Method-Race-Wheels-CJC-Edition-Ram-315-p/method-315.htm May not be some's cup o tea though.

What size tire are you going to run? The offset on these trucks has a huge impact on what size tires you can fit. If you want to clear 37x12.5s you will need +18 to +27 to clear the sway-bar and radius arms, but will need to trim the pinch weld and wheel liner. +18 for tires closer to a true 37, +27 for smaller 37s. As for 35x12.5s, the OEM +42 offset wheel is fine, a +1 offset with 35s might put you into the pinch weld at full lock. Personally, I would stick to 18 to 27 offset to keep the 37 option open. Also as a side note, you can clear a 38x13.5 with a +18 offset, Carli or Thuren sway bar, pinch weld trimming, and fender liner trimming

I’ll only run a 35 inch tire. 12.5.

I also have the 1/2 over stock thuren springs.

Makes no difference for wheel and tire fit unless you have dropped the bump stops. The wheel/tire fit is determined by suspension up travel which is set by the bumps.

Also this might actually put you even more into the pinch weld. When you lift a radius arm truck, the radius arms pull the axle in closer to the radius arm mounts. On a 1/2” this would be very small, maybe 1/8”.

Yeah I ordered the blitz wheels and I’m canceling them. Haha. I’m going to swap to black rhino glamis wheels in a 17x9. There’s no way I would’ve been able to deal with them sticking out that far. I hate those d bags.
