I could use some guidance in choosing the right Rim offset / width for my situation.
I have a 2019 ram sport and plan on going with the ready lift 3.5"
Mickey thompson baja atz p3 35 12.5 20
And I also plan on having bushwacker pocket flares installed.
I would like as aggressive stance as I can to help fill the flares with out going down to a 33" tire or having major rubbing issues.
The rims plan to use have the following width / offset options

20x9 +1
20x9 +20
20x10 - 18

Thanks Wayne

I have a 3 1/2 RC lift with 35x12.5’s on 20x9’s with ‘0’ offset on my Longhorn. I did have to do some plastic trimming on the bottom rear of the front fender wells. With the 0 offset, the tires slightly stick out past the truck. If you go with the fender flares you could probably go with the -18 and stick out even farther than mine do, but then they may rub worse when you turn since my 0 offset did. I have a few pics in my thread “All fixed Up, wheels, tires, exc” good luck!:cool:

I was in the same boat figuring out offsets had 3 wheels and 3 different tires shipped to my tire place before deciding I wanted a more aggressive wide stance without leveling or lift. No rubbing or trimming needed.

285/60r20 -19 offset.

I have a Tundra that I’m thinking of trading in for a new Ram. I would level the front, but I have new 295/60/20 ridge grapplers that I would swap over to the ram. Do you think they would rub? I see you have 285/60/20 so not that big of a difference?

You should without rubbing just fine I was about to get 305/55r20 and they said it would fit that width but I wanted a little more height instead of width I’m fine with the 11.2 inch over the 12.5 inch width and get some more height.

Why didn’t you do the 35/11.5/20’s then?

You should be fine with a +12. As mentioned, I have a ‘0’ offset and did have to trim some plastic. I have pictures in my thread “All fixed up! Lift, tires, exc.” you may have already seen. Those are the only pictures currently that would show how far the tires stick out. Currently I have winter tires on my stock wheels and will not be putting the 35’s back on till spring!

I prolly could of got 35 but tire shop guys were unsure and said tallest be 34 and I didn’t want to risk it since I didn’t want to level or lift and didn’t want to trim or rub. The 285/60r20 fit perfect and look good. And smooth ride better then the stock duratracs
