Default off road wheels question

I have the chance to pick up some off road wheels off a 2001 1500 for a decent price.

Will they rub on my non-off road 1999 1500 with 2" spacers?

Tires are 275/70 R17.

Are these wheels wider than the ones I have on now?

thanks for your response

I also wanted to add that I still have 3:55 gears and dont want to replace them. Will that be an issue?

you should be fine. even with out the inch spacers. i would put them on and turn it lock to lock and see if it rubs, wheel pacers are good but there is a reason why they are so cheap. i wouldnt put them on if they are not needed

the spacers are in the coil springs, not for the wheel

I ran 285's on my off-road rims with no lift. They'll fit your 275's without any issues. Also, 3.55's should still be ok for 275's.
