I almost bought those same Vossens lol I love them but didn’t love the price and then logic came to me that maybe I shouldn’t spend so much and didn’t want to draw more attention to my work vehicle when parked at hotels.

Thanks! I saw them on a few other trucks on here and was hooked on the style. But you’re right, I almost didn’t want to buy them bc of the price - at the same time, less people will have them especially in the 2 tone color it seems so I guess it’s a give & take.

As mentioned earlier, the Fuel Rebels look really good on Rams & easier on the wallet. I’ll try & post a link to the Ram gallery for custom offsets but you may need to re-enter the vehicle details in the top center: https://www.customwheeloffset.com/wheel-offset-gallery?make=Ram&model=1500&sort=yno&year=2022
So when I googled that wheel, ironically a Rough Country Series 95 came up. But if I read correctly, it is a NEGATIVE 25 offset and will an extremely aggressive stance?


It appears that I'm attracted to the "Y style spoke" which ironically is what the stock 22s are. That wheel looked nice - perhaps the gloss - and price aggressive. Beyond not fitting, it was perfect less the chrome trim bolts or whatever they are called. I have a night edition, so I'd like all white.

Sounds like we have a similar work life & the hotels is definitely the main concern. Always parking where I can see it from the window like it will actually help. 😑 I have 2 types of lug nuts (1 locking) & thought about even adding the third set I have just laying around to make it more difficult/time consuming.

You can definitely find a similar style for a good price & probably without the simulated bead lock look. Fuel brand has a few options in that style also.

As far as stance goes, I have -18 going from a +19 factory wheel & I thought it was going to be too much but it ended up looking great. -25 is almost 1”. Tiresize.com has the best option for typing your existing & future wheel specs & seeing all the visual & spec differences- definitely check that out.

More then likely lol I could tell that you’re not working much locally to where you live based off a previous post about the mileage you typically rack up every year.



I plan on going with a set from them whenever my new wheels ever decide to show up. I have a set of Mcgards from my previous Mopars but I wanna give their product a try since they”ll be harder to remove with the hammer/socket trick.

Cool idea. I might have to look into a set.

Never even felt the need to get anything better then Mcgards but with the ridiculous price of tires nowadays its a little more piece of mind.

Yeah, I mainly just drive back and forth in MO, KS, & OK with the occasional one off somewhere else & inspect commercial flat roofs to approve warranties for a manufacturer - basically checking the contractors work & training them in the winter.

Good share! I have the Mcgard’s now also along with some spline locking lugs (forget the brand, starts with a B) & the Gorilla lugs are in the box still since I forgot to bring them with me when I had the tires added. 🤪

I cover the entire state but I spent most of my time near Tulsa &/or OKC usually once a month. I normally stay in Norman when I go to OKC area. I know that I’m looking forward to some more Bad Daddy’s Burgers Jan 30th!

I've found the easiest way to search is by wheel size. If you punch in your truck to most search engines all you will get is "trucky" wheels.

I was in the same boat as you. But I finally found some wheels I loved in the color I wanted by just searching images of the wheel style I wanted. The few sites that sold the wheels said they would not fit. But using an offest calculator you can see how it will fit.

You can also use a heat gun to adjust the inner fender liner then a splash of cold water to lock in the new bend.

Or drill a hole in it and zip tie it back to the frame. Easiest solution I found.
