I have a 2021 Ram Sport with the factory 22" wheels and getting ready to install the new Eibach Pro Truck kit. I want to run 35"x12.5 tires and know that I will probably need wheel spacers, but not sure what size? I do not want the wheels to stick out past the fenders, but know I will probably need more clearance between the tire and upper control arm.

Does your truck have fender flares? If not, run BORA 1” adapters up front and 1.25” adapters in the rear to square out the stance. Our front axle length width is ~1/4” wider than the rear. IMG_1059.jpeg

If I had fender flares, I’d go with 1.5” all around. Depends on the amount of poke you want. 1.5” with stock offset (+19) will give you a bit of poke, but not overwhelming IMO.

Thanks. I hate how tucked in the rear wheels. But I don't want to go to the extreme. No drivability issues with 'em???

Hey, just ordered 2" hubcentric spacers to be installed. Running OEM 22s with a 285/55 a/t. Should I expect any rubbing? Have a set of rough country sf1 flares going on as well. Which is why I got the spacers. Hoping it looks good and not like it skipped leg day.
Curious as to how far out of the fender the wheels will be

I have 1.25" spacers for the front of my Ram when I have my factory 22"s on. When I installed my winter wheel/tire combo (about an inch taller) last year, I tried it with the spacers still installed, and had a rub every time I backed into the driveway. You may experience some rubbing, especially if you have splash guards, but someone else with that big of a spacer should definitely weigh in to share their wisdom.

Yea, I'm gonna take off the splash guard/mud flaps to install rough country sf1 flares.

Installed 2" spacers and rough country sf1 flares.
Removed factory mud flaps, had to trim rear fender liner. Now, No rub. 1000061036.jpg 1000061034.jpg 1000061035.jpg

Looks good, man. IMO 2" is a bit much for stock flares, but those aftermarket flares match up perfectly.
I appreciate it!
I was nervous going in, but I like the look. Now need to find 22"x10" rims that match that offset.
