I’m looking for the wheel specs on the factory beadlock capable wheels. I’ve searched all over but can’t seem to find them. Anyone got better google-fu than me?

According to Thurens website stock 2014 and up Power wagon wheels are from +42 to +57, with +18mm what you want ideally.

Thank you! I knew that 18 is ideal, but wanted to play around a little. Only planning on 35’s so I figured there would be a little fudge room in there.

I’m going to be putting 37x12.50R17’s on my stock wheels for now and was thinking about running some small wheel spacers, maybe 1/2 or 3/4 inch, to help with clearance.

I have read nothing good about spacers, but people install them. AEV wheel offset for Ram 2500 (+27mm) are less than factory wheels. CJC Off Road has Method wheels (+25mm off set) specifically designed for Ram HD. Both will keep tire tucked under the fender. Many people like their tires protruding from under fender, just be careful about some state laws require exposed wheels to be covered. Does it get enforced, maybe, but never can tell when John Law is having a bad day.

I’ve run spacers on several vehicles with no issues. Wheeling rigs to daily drivers with lots o miles. Run a quality spacer, add locktite to studs, and tighten equally till nothing moves.

I’m not sold on the stocks. Would like something a little nicer. The AEV’s are ugly too so… still shopping

Well it’s been an expensive summer this year redoing our backyard so wheels will have to wait until next year, but I ordered my tires today because I definitely need new ones. Also I’m not buying tires for the looks and wheels would just be for the proper clearance. I do go off-road quite a lot, especially once hunting season rolls around.

Since you are sticking with a 17 inch tire, I like the Method 305 NV HD's. Saving up for a set.

Message the guy's at Discount Tire Direct for pricing on those wheels when ready. Great pricing and can ship to any Store for mounting.
