New to Rim/Tire set up

[Emarkowski24]

Hey all finally getting around to upgrading my tires/rims. Just a few questions if someone could help out. I currently have the stock 18s on my 19 bighorn with just those cheap covers off eBay to make the rims black. Was wondering if the set up below would work with mine as I have 2inch Bora spacers on it. Please advise if anyone can point me in the right direction as for rim size and tire size with the 2 inch spacers. Thanks you guys are awesome

Bump anyone?!?

Not sure I understand the question or what you're looking for or trying to achieve. With spacers, I believe it pushes the wheels out more (negative offset), so are you looking to do a wider stance to get wider tires?

 

[Emarkowski24]

Yes exactly a wider stance and more so just wondering if I could run the 33s with the spacers and not run into any problems

 

[davidn0021]

I've heard people being able to run 33s without spacers, so I would imagine the spacers will give you more clearance. Although that could depend on what the offset is on the rims.

-24

Yeah not sure if that would rub or have much issue at all, but I'm sure there may be other considerations I'm not aware of. You could try talking to a shop that handles wheels and suspension modifications like Custom Offsets.

You have the 18x8 +19 so that's 4.75" of backspacing (rim set toward the engine from the hub of the wheel). A 10" wide wheel with -24 offset is 4" of spacing, so that means 6" of wheel toward the fender from the hub compared to 3.25" from the 18's. Rebels come stock with 33's, but with that much offset I would think you'll rub. You can check how much space there is right now between tire and fender and then do the difference, but you're going to have one more inch of "spacer" compared to what you have now. You'll most likely rub.

I have BORA spacers installed on my stock REBEL rims and 33" Duratrax.
1.5" in Front
2." in Rear

They sit about 1" outside the fenders and give it a beefier look. NO RUB
Even people that do 2" F and R don't rub with stocks.

Do you have a 2" front end level on your truck? The RAMs always have a 2" rake in the front.

How do you like the handling at highway speeds with the spacers on?

No different than stock ride feel, it feels more planted with the slightly wider footprint. I would only buy the BORA spacers.

That’s what I had on (1.5” all around) and I felt like it was a bit rolly.
