-44...looking at the TIS 544BM. All the searches show 33X12.5 fitting but I'm worried about that extra inch. Looking at the Venom Power Terra X/T tires
Nice wheels! I’m pretty sure you’ll have to do some trimming to make that work, unless you don’t care about turning to full lock. Here’s the difference compared to stock 20’s (18’s are close enough that difference is negligible). You can physically measure the difference yourself. I like to use cardboard and build a replica of the setup if I think it will be critical.

You’ll need to do measurements on your own to make sure. My term “trimming” includes any metal that would need to be cut. From comparing my wheels/tires and the 3” front lift I previously had in my signature to yours, your sidewall is 2.13” farther out than mine. That means you will contact the front bumper and possibly the rear fender. I think you need a 3.5 or 4” front lift to not have to trim.

Edit: I'm always interested in pushing limits and builds that I don't see everyday, so I started looking around some. There's a guy with a new body style (DT) on here that posted a couple years ago with a 3" lift and 33x13.5 tires. He cleared, but that was with higher offset wheels than yours. On the classic RAM (DS), there are guys who've done level kits with a very low offset wheel and 33x13.5 tires.

Here's one with 24x14 -81 offset wheels and 33x13.5 tires. It is a DS body style, so I don't know the fender and bumper clearances to the DT.

Here's a search for 1500's with -44 and lower offset wheels with 33x13.5's.

You've been VERY helpful and I appreciate it. I stay on Custom Offsets looking at different builds and some close to what I want to do. I guess my biggest concern was the 13.5. That extra sidewall to cover the lip will definitely be a bonus!! The vendor sent me a pic of it installed on the wheel!!

If you already got a pic, can you post it here? I’d like to see it

Those are gorgeous! I love how aggressive those 33’s look with the short sidewall.

I’m in a 2020rebel with the fox coils set at 3”. I have 20x12 -51 offset with 33x12.50 and I only rub when I’m at full lock on an incline or decline…basically when I maneuver up my narrow driveway. I trimmed that little tab off and zip tied the liner back. You should be about the same since that extra inch of tire won’t be an actual inch since your tire is so thin. Your just eliminating the slight “stretch” in the tire.

It was between those and the 547BM... Wifey likes this design better
Haha, I always do the wife test when buying something. I just installed the Fox 2.0 IFP coilovers and asked my wife how she liked the ride. She said she doesn’t notice a difference from stock, so I’d say that’s a win.

Im not saying these people are lying but one thing I’ve on that website is either people don’t know what they have or are just putting down what they wish they had. I’ve seen some where it’s probably a 2” level and 32 or MAYBE 33” tires but they say it’s 35”. Or 6” lift and 35”s and there is hardly any fender gap at all
