It’s time for the truck to get it’s biggest makeover yet. ‘19 Laramie sport 4wd crew. Going with the mopar lift kit and 35” nittos but struggling to understand what offset. Anyone have some examples? -18? -25?

I think a -25 offset would stick out too much. Actually, I think a -18 may stick out too much unless you are going with a 12.5" wide tire. The best thing to do is punch in all your numbers in the Wheel Offset Calculator: https://tiresize.com/wheel-offset-calculator/. If you are looking at a 35x12.5; then the -18 would be good in my opinion. If you like look of tires sticking way out then get the -25; the outer sidewall will be about 2.5" inches further out than your stock tire.

You’re gonna have some trimming to do. I have the mopar kit with 18x9 -12 offset with 34.4x11.77 tires and I had to trim.

Would you be able to share a picture of what that looks like when you get a chance?

i like you set up! I'm looking at that exact wheel and tire set up as well (18x9 -12 with 295/70's) the only difference is i'm going to use the Bilstien 5100 adjustable shocks to get my lift/ level in the front... if you could post a couple pics showing what it looks like front and 3/4 view so that we can see how far they stick out. how much did you ave to trim and where.

So your running like a 295/70/18? Stock Mopar lift, no changes?

Make sure you account for the stock fender covers/flares, if you have them. Mine cover another 1/2” or so of the tire which will help determine offset. Measure using a level and tape and use the above cited calculator for more info.

I can take a full front **** to show poke tomorrow. They tires don’t really stick out, pretty flush, due to that small 1/2” flare form factory.

As for trimming, the inner piece of that front small mud flap deal needed to just be shaved slightly on the inside. I also used a heat gun to just push the liner in ever so slightly. Literally took 5 minutes.

I ordered my wheels and tires online and got free mounting and balancing, so had them add the TPMS.

Tpms are cheap. You can pick them up for around $40. For me it"s not worth swapping out the old ones for that price.
