The wheels are 18x9

5.50 bolt pattern

With a neg -11 offset
I think they have a 4.5 inch back space..but it does not say .

Default leveling kit

Was this the kit you used, and do you happen to know if this will work on a '15 R/T ? I really need to get the front end lifted on this truck. Its too low for what I am putting it through

Talking 2015 R/T with Rocky Road Outfitters WK2 2.5" Lift Kit

Kit went on with no problems. No alignment issues. Tom's 4x4 of Chattanooga billed 4.5hrs plus alignment (was their first install). Drives the same. Pics have stock wheels with 1.5" spacers and stock tires.

Hey guys new here. I'm liking the way Mackies truck sits and was wondering if I went with the rough country leveling kit and same rim size (except the offset would be 1) and tire size would there need to be some trimming? I have a 2013 Rallye Durango. If so what would be a safe bet for tire size to avoid trimming as I have to lock my wheels turning to get out of my house =/

Hey there,
I'm so glad to see more people doing this now, yes I do have the rough country leveling kit. The tire size I had to go with to avoid any rubbing with no trimming at all is a 265/65/18..I wish I could have went a little bigger. That size converts to 31.6 in tall..10.5 in wide. But you may be able to go a little bigger because of your offset… They told me at discount tire that mine would clear a little more if they didn't stick out so far .
but with the tires I have on there now, there is absolutely no rubbing. Good luck with everything, let me know if u have any other questions.

The only plastic trimming I have done on the Durango… Was the front bumper facia… About the 4 inch tall plastic trim piece on the bottom of the bumper… I took that off so it would look a little taller

Thanks for the help man. Im kinda toying with the idea of just putting on new tires with the kit and seeing what i can fit. Im looking at maybe 275/60R20 and i compared to what you have and it seems to be just a tiny bit smaller. I just cant seem to find my OEM rim offset but i believe its +20? Do you think that would fit? I ordered my Leveling kit today though so Im curious to what its going to look like.
