Sorry if this has been covered already.. I've got an 06 ram rcsb I found a set of 17x8 black rockstars in a +10 offset. What's this gonna look like? I want somewhat of an aggressive look. Gonna put flares on it and don't wanna look goofy. a small spacer might help those?

+10 offset is going to stay under your fenders. Usually if yoy want a tire to stuck out you would go with a negative offest. My tires stick out about 2 inches and I have a 10 inch wide rim with negative offset.

You add a spacer itll definitely helo stick the tires out a bit but you best bet would be a negatuve offset, and if you want them to stick out more add a small spacer to a negative offset

im gonna go for a set of -12 rockstar 17x8's in black and then use a 5mm spacer get a -17 offset should look good with a set of mud terrians on there. ive got a set of 33's... how big of tire can i go ive got a 2 inch body lift and a leveling kit... hoping for 37's would settle for 35's...

On a 2 inch? I would say stay with 33s unfortunately. Unless you plan to lift it more maybe 37s. I have a 6 inch kit I will be upgrading to 35s soon on a -25 mm offset rim

I agree with LS5. Look for something with a negative offset. The positive offset means there is more tire on the inside of the hub than the outside. Could pose problems for steering depending on the size tire you get. My tires used to rub on my old truck at full lock and I had a 0 offset wheel.

As for the tire size with 2" body and level, I've heard of people fitting 35s on just a level, so the 2" body will just give you more clearance. But I will hve to agree with LS5 again and say stick with 35s unless you go with a bigger lift. You can probably fit 37s, but you wouldn't have much clearance for off-road use, and may rub the fender with potholes or speed bumps if hit too quick.

Definitely. The stock tires should be 33s, so you shouldn't have any issues. And the -24 offset will also take away the chance of rubbing at full lock. I think with the lift and -24 offset you should be able to do the 35s no problem.
