What offset is everyone running?

Also, once again..keep in mind I have 6mm/0.25" Bora spacers in back to get the back tire looking flush (or in line) with the front tire.
Also, the front tire alignment does slightly change the poke of the front tire just a fraction based on camber amounts.
 
I AM ON 35 X 12.5 X 20 ON A 20X9 0 OFFSET AND HAVE A AGGRESSIVE SIDE LUG TIRE (KENA KLEVER R/T) AND YOU CAN BARELY SEE IT GOES PAST THE OEM FLARES. I MEAN YOU HAVE TO BE OUT THERE W/ A RULER AND TAPE MEASURE TO SEE ITS TRULY OUTSIDE THE FLARES

ALSO HAVE PLENTY OF ROOM BETWEEN UCA AND TIRE
 
Thanks for the info guys! Im leaning towards the 285/60-20, there are many tires available in this size. My concerns with my UCA is they are RC forged aluminum and have much larger ball joints then factory, so they are closer to the tire than the OEM setup. Also are you guys running hub centric bore adaptors? Im thinking I’ll pick some up before mounting. I figure they cant hurt keeping everything lined up an concentric during tightening.

Your new XDs should have bore/hub centric adapters with them..usually 1 or 2 sizes.
If not, Amazon has them...Billet or Plastic/Nylon ones.
 
Very nice!
Bonus, it's just a hair lighter than the OEM wheel weight.
The 285/60R20 gives a nice, taller/wider, beefier look..and won't kill your 3.21 gear much.
Congrats!
Too bad you don't live nearby, I'd smoke you my Ascents half price..I love them, but would like the even taller 285/65R20s now that I've lifted more, and realize that my 3.92 gear could handle taller.
Again, I highly recommend the Dueler AT Ascents!


How much you gotta have for the Ascents? I notice your SE WI, depending where at I'm probably not far from you and may be interested in the tires.

I'm Town of Eagle (Mukwonago PO) ZIP 53149...20min S of Oconomowoc, 30min W of Milwaukee, 30min N of Lake Geneva.
These cost me $1800 and have only 3047miles on them (new 285/65R20s will cost me $1800 again)..they Road Force balance to 2/4/4/8 (which is unheard of..and a testament to the Ascents quality) and none had to be adjusted, and all had minimal weights. I had them mounted/balanced at Southern4X4 in South Beloit (they p-coated my Fuel wheels).

I'd like to get a grand for them.
Where abouts are you in Wisco?

I have to admit, this last week when it was 60°, I swapped my Eibach Stage1 struts (Clip#3 + 1"ORP springs = 2.2" lift) for Stage2 COs that are maxed out to give 2.25" lift and the ride, handling, and power are SO good once again, that I am a bit hesitant to change anything more, but I would love the look of that little bit more lift (~0.50")..not sure if the extra 0.50" sidewall will change the ride for better or worse, but handling will probably decrease a bit, and power will definitely decrease a bit! The weight would only be 1lb more per tire, so not a swaying factor.
@CHeYeNNe71 your thoughts?

In the end, if you're close and interested, I'd do a deal. If not, I'm not sure if I'd be happy or sad, ugh!
Think on it and let me know👍

I replied to your message and I think you should bump up! I'm a bad influence :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I got your message, and chatted with my Speed shop buddy..still on the fence just a bit, but leaning towards the 285/65s since I have a deal set up. Buddy said since weight & E rating is almost identical, that ride, etc won't really change..maybe hair slower(?).
Below..me: 285/60, you & Stevie: 285/65...⤵️

My tires look short now with my lift.

Yeah I like the fuller look, without going to big. Plus saving by sticking with a 11.2 Vs 12.5
 
That sizing will fit nicely. I'm running the oem night edition 22" wheels with a -18 offset (1.5" spacers) and a 34" tire. Had to heat the inner liner some and pull back with a ziptie but its an easy DIY. If I were to buy new wheels, they would be 20 X 10 with a -18 offset.
Do you need lift to fit the wheels? It looks like theres tons of room on height at least, I get the offset with wheels at full lock is why you have to adjust liner?

I am trying to do 20" wheels with largest tires that I can fit without leveling kit or messing with fenderwell/liner unless its truly simple as ****, with some poke not sure how much.
 
Yeahhhhhh!!
Big boy tires, for me at least.

Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascents
LT285/65R20 (~34.4" tall)
Fuel Variant 20x9 +1mm
AlfaOBD programmed to 2650mm
Eibach Stage2 COs/Shocks
Rear Coil Spacers (1"LR/0.5"RR)
Ground to Fender Flares Edge:
40.31"LF / 40.31"RF
40.25" LR / 40.25" RR
39psi F / 36psi R
Airlift Rear Coil Bags..5psi
Alignment next week..I'm leaving the Front a bit high, as it may settle a hair..but I actually really like the ride with the front slightly high (the front actually looks lower than the back in the pics, but it's not, it's higher, huh🤷‍♂️)

ABSOLUTELY loving the extra 0.50" lift, sidewall, and LOOK over the 285/60R20s that I had!! Nothing wrong with those, but looked short after I lifted the whole truck a half inch recently. This has the correct, proportional look to me now..and the ride does seem to be just a bit better yet and smoother, so yeah🤗...⤵️

Same everything, but with 285/60R20s (again, was perfectly fine but I can't help myself)..⤵️

It's hard to tell the difference in these pics..definitely noticeable in person..beefier all around👍

I'm always willing to help others spend their money instead of mine! :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
BIG shout out to @cpram for inquiring to my comments here about thinking about selling my 3000mile 285/60R20 Ascents..then committing to buy them from me, then driving to meet me at my local Firestone dealer to pick them up, and paying me cash so I could offset my payment, and being a generally awesome guy to meet and know..THANK YOU, I wouldn't have made the leap to swap up to the 285/65s otherwise!

Also, another shout to @CHeYeNNe71 for having such an awesome Ram that I HAD to follow your lead and desire the 285/65 look that you have (now, me too). Plus, got spend my money on "modding by proxy" and by planting the "seed for need"..let's do it again sometime! 🤣🤣🤣

Also, @CalvinC for being a brother Eibacher! You did it, I figured I could too! @stevieb92 is with us too.

AND.. @gomango392 for the absolutely awesome YouTube video on the specs and installation of the Eibach Stage2R kit..very helpful in prepping for installing my Stage2 COs!! TY😊

Thanks to everyone on this Forum for all the knowledge and support the we all are looking for.👏
(I'm sorry for anyone I missed thanking..like @boogielander )

Big thanks and great to meet you also! I would’ve been running the OEM 275/55 until they were done for without your deal! While the truck was on the lift for the starter I just couldn’t help myself, I had to put them on 😂

You were spot on with your description, these tires balanced out beautifully, they are smooth, quiet, ride great and handle fantastic! Glad it worked out for both of us.

Will look even better when the level shows up!

Dude..super happy you got them on ASAP..holy smokes!!
They look GREAT! RAM looks great, and it'll look even better leveled!
I hope we get at least one really big snowfall yet so you can experience how spectacular the Ascents are in the snow!
Hey, thanks again to you too..so glad we could both benefit 😀
Keep in touch!
