If you have installed 18” Aftermarket wheels that cleared the calipers please post make and model. Im looking at some Fuel and Moto Metal wheels but don’t want to special order $1200 worth of wheels only to find out they don’t fit.

There’s another thread about this I saw recently. Search for wheels and fit and I bet you’ll find it.

I saw the one where they are going back and forth about Method wheels, but there’s a lot of other brands I know people are running from the many threads out there in the suspension section. Was hoping to consolidate it into one thread.

In the news release Carli put out about their new suspension package for the Ram they spoke about the Method 305 NV in 18x9 with a -12mm offset fitting. I've been considering these but for now I threw on some 285/75R18 Falken Wildpeaks on the stock 18's and have been happy and didn't spend >$1,000.

There is also member @Desert Dawg who has 18x8.5 +0mm Black Rhino Dugger.
@Phoneskills has Black Rhino Fury's in 18x9.5 +12mm but did clearance his brake calipers for them to fit.

Those are the wheels I was considering so I had looked at those threads multiple times. I'm sure there are many others. The carli write up was helpful for me because they talk about wheel offsets, wheel to UCA clearance and advise sticking with a ~11.5in wide tire instead of 35x12.5's.

18" Fuel Covert D716 Matte Anthracite Center w/ Black Ring Wheels -12 offset fit just fine. They had to hammer mount the balancing weights, but all fine. Running 35x12.5.

18x9 +18 Method 312's

Driver side cleared fine, passenger side needed a little cleaning up on the caliper.

Great thanks, I like the look. Those wheels make the tires look bigger. I’ve been trying to find a set of Rebel wheel and tire take offs and not having any luck. They are either asking too much money for them, aren‘t willing to ship, or just flat out won’t even return my calls or messages. So I’m thinking of going aftermarket wheel route with the same tires.

Fairly close to the same angle as silver with 18x9 +0. OEM Duratracs as well.

Thought I‘d add to this thread. After an exhaustive search I found a great deal on some wheels for my truck They are Gear Off Road Black Hawk 754MB. The picture is the one I got its the gloss black machined. They have a couple different variations. The one that was on sale for Black Friday was an 18X9 18MM so it will be very similar to the stock Rebel wheel stance. I was ok with this because I have a pair 3/8” and 1/2” wheel spacers. I’ll try both and see what I like best. I’m going with the 275/70/18 Goodyear Wrangler Ultra terrain at discount tire. I stopped there yesterday so I could see the Duratrac and the Ultra terrain in person next to each other. The guy showed me how the tread is very similar but they made an improvement on the ultra terrain to improve the wet traction. He also said they are quieter which is good. Only thing I wish is that the Ultra terrain had the white lettering. It’s got a cool looking side wall too so I’m going with the ultra terrain. Plus they are $20 cheaper per tire. Combine that with a 10% rebate from discount tire and $75 rebate from goodyear and it’s a good deal.

I’m ordered the wheels from BBwheelsonline. I made sure and checked with them that those wheels will fit on our trucks. She pulled it up on the mfg site while I was on the phone and confirmed they fit. I’ll test fit them when I get them to be sure. I’ll let you guys know for sure once I get them.

I have the XD 143 RG3 on order from my local tire shop and XD's site says they will fit the 5th gen RAM. They should be in after the holiday week and I will report back whether they're a fit or not. Already anticipating balancing weight collision with the calipers, but the boys at the local tire shop are bullish and believe that they can make it work. The beauty of buying local is that if they don't fit, I don't have to deal with shipping them back.

I like that one too. There are so many wheels you could look non stop for days. I just went with one I liked that was on Black Friday special. Of course everyone I saw that I really wanted were over $300 a piece.
