Here's the poke that I have with 22x10 -18mm offset. Tires 305/45/22(33's)

That's what I'll be running 10 -18, just trying to decide on 20 or stay with 22, which is what I want to do.

It's a very nice truck! Is that a stock ride? The tire shop I went to yesterday was concerned even to put on a 0mm offset. I left it with him to reach out to the wheel manufacturer. I think I would be happy with a -10mm offset which the wheel I am looking at offers. He was also worried about the size of the tire. Do you have any rubbing or modifications? A 33" tall tire with -18mm offsets fit okay?

Yes it's stock height no level and it's a tight fit. The tires barely rubbed the front side of the wheel liner which was no big deal. Just heated up the liner and pushed it in a tiny amount at the spot of the rub. On the back side it's very close to rubbing. If you have mud flaps they'd likely rub. I'm looking at putting on Rokblokz mud flaps in hopes it will keep the side of the truck cleaner since the wheels poke a good amount. Even with the thin Rokblokz I'm guessing they will have to be trimmed to clear.

Also note A/T or mud tires might fit differently than my highway tires. My tires spec at 32.8x12 and a lot of the AT tires I was looking (33x12.5) spec at 32.5" tall. To free up more space you could also run 32" tire. I almost went with 305/40/22 but I wanted the extra sidewall.

Both look good on these trucks. I almost bought 20's but I think with my wheels the 22's look a little better. I was concerned going from factory 20's to 22's the ride quality would suffer but surprisingly enough I didn't notice a difference. Mostly because I stayed with standard P metric load tire vs going with an stiffer/heavier LT tire.

I have the OEM 22's and they're not that bad. If anything the suspension sucks because it wallows around like a damn boat. Will be replacing this Spring for sure with a 3-3.5" lift and 34/35's

Don’t forget that a Hellwig rear sway bar will help eliminate the boaty floaty’s!

Fo Sho! I'm on the fence for Hellwig or the Belltech F/R for around $450ish.

At that Belltech price($225) for the rear, it’s hard not to go that route. My Hellwig rear was ~$250 a few months ago. Belltech is 1” OD vs My Hellwig 7/8”.

I've seen the Hellwig as low as $200, but not sure the front is worth it, or bypass and save the coin and just do the rear?

I just did the rear and I was impressed immediately. For the first few years of the 5th gen, Hellwig said the front stocker sway bar was plenty adequate. Once you lift your rig, the coilovers will firm up the front. That’s my experience and I love it. In a few weeks I’ll be upgrading to Suspension Maxx front lifted/leveled end links which will tighten up the front a bit more.

Energy Suspension 5.516 poly bushings (36mm) for the front are a cheap starter and work.

 

[CHeYeNNe71]

Yeah, I ran the Hellwig on my 4th Gen w/ 6" & 37's and was great. I will also be doing the Suspension Maxx, Plus Core4X4 Rear arms, Panhard and links. I just need to order the links once I know the size after lifting.

Yep, just toss the endlink bushings (for the ~2000 Dodges).
Could have sworn the PN ended B for Black or R for Red, but that is correct to use.

 

[Ready Go]

It is 5.516G for black and 5.5.516R for red..your pick.
