Wheel Selection - Help Needed

[justclements]

So - I am stumped with which wheel to go with. Just picked up my new Ram and having the 2" Mopar lift installed today. I will also be picking up a set of 35's (KO2s) once I can figure out the wheel I want to go with. Attached are photos of my Ram, photos of the wheel selection, and photos of other rigs with the wheels on them. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Oh boy that's a hard one... Are you wanting black on either or are you wanting the bronze fuel wheel? I noticed the gladiator had black fuels not the bronze ones. They both look great but in all honesty I think the fuels have a little more of a bead lock look and they come across as more of a hardcore off-road wheel IMO. It just depends on the look you want to achieve. What size wheel are you looking at? I think the fuel in a 18" or so would look good, and the black rhino for the bigger sizes (20-22") That's just my 2 cents

So I could go black or bronze. There was no photos of the Fuel Bronze on a truck. I do want the more hardcore off-road wheel look that's for sure. I was thinking 18" for both so I can get more sidewall from the tires. Here are the fuels in a grey that I am now considering too hah.

After seeing the below picture I am going to get the Fuel Covert D716 Grey/Black. All black is pictured below, but I love the look and don't see a ton of people running them.

Hi, Fuel is nice. You just have to consider it is hard to clean if you are a clean freak. What size of tires are you getting with it. I am a lurker, saving to upgrade wheels and tires. I'm also trying to do my research.

35x12.5R18

Different wheel but I love the bronze Fuel Rebels on my 2019.

I have a two inch coilover lift in the front and running 35/11.5/18 Fuel Vector wheels 0 offset. I rubbed and had to do a fair amount of trimming. If you haven't done so, you may want to double check your specs on the wheels and see if the 12.5 tire will even fit. I'm afraid you are going to have plenty of rubbing issues to deal with. Nice wheel/tire combo you're going with.

The wheels will have a -12 offset, so do you think that will compensate some?

That's going to push it out further, which may increase your chances of having issues. I know most guys on here that went with the 3.5" lift had to do some minor trimming with 35/12.5 tires. I'm not an expert when it comes to these tight fits so hopefully someone more knowledgeable can chime in. I ordered my suspension and wheels/tires through a local off-road shop and their expertise really helped me stay out of trouble.

I guess we will see. I know another guy that ran a 2.5" level kit and was able to fit the same wheel and tire size without any trimming, so I am hinging on that. Appreciate you raising the point though and I will have to let you know how it goes. Definitely not wanting to do any major trimming.

For sure man and good luck! Definitely let us know how it goes and post pics!

All done. Very tiny rub. Hit it with a heat gun and molded it back and solved it.

 

[Pyleketerson]

Now that looks really good! Glad it all worked out.

Looks great! Did you put ORP springs on the front only with the Mopar lift?

New to this forum, so what does "ORP" mean? Off-Road Package?

 

[Newguy]

Yes, ORP would be the off road package with the 1 inch longer springs. Some people use the ORP springs with the Mopar lift in the front to make it higher in the front if their truck doesn't have the ORP package.
