I know this question has been covered somewhere???But I emailed Ready Lift (2.5" level kit) and they say that I can fit 35's on my 07 Ram 1500 QCwith the proper backspacing onthe wheels.

I was thinking about the Procomp Black #8069 18x9(It says 6mm offset w/4.75" b/s) with35X12.5X18 BFG M/T's (getting a deal).

Do you think these well clear the inner fender and control arms?Anyone have anything similar??

 

well backspacing and offset is hard to deal with... you gotta get it just right for it not to rub when steering.... However if you plan on going off road with just that leveling kit i would reccomend 33's so your tires have rim to flex in the wheel well.... also 18's are a lot more expensive between the rims and tires.... plus decucts from tire flex.... if you wanna save cash go for 17's they willl save you some cash... if you want 18's bc they look better by all means get em...... also the rim you chose looks real similar to the cragar soft 8's the only diference is the cragars will prolly be like 60 per rim instead.... just things to think about....

 

I appreciate the info...I was going to stick with 33" Pro Comp X M/T's on my stock 20" wheelsbut I found these BFG's for a good price and liked the rims I mentioned. I won't do much off-roading, not enough to flex the tires around a wholelot, just some camping, etc.

Any one with 35's on an 06-07 Ram 1500??????????? What backspacing or offset would I likely need??

 

I know you can fit 35's on a 2500 with only a leveling kit,since they sit higher than a 1500 4x4.I dont know about a 1500 4x4 being able to do 35's with out major rubbing.

 

I seriously doubt the 35's will fit properly. MyB-I-L has oneand we are looking at 33's for his. Also, what gears do you have? You're going to kill yourpower with 35's.

 

Ah the options!!! I thought that I had seena few people running 35's on this board on 1500's and seem to like them. My primary concern obviously is the clearance issue. Someone has to have done this, or tried to do it on their truck??

BTW...I drove an 05 1500 with a 6" Fabtech lift and 35's, before I bought mineand the thing was still good on power with stock gearing. My truck is only a few months old so I stillhave the stock gears (07 1500, QC, Big Horn w/20" wheels).

 

I put some 285/65/20's on my truck with a pro comp 2.5inch level and it does n ot rub and looks good,power is a hair different but still good. I think they are about 34.5 so who knows maybe that 1/2 inch makes it work better than 35s.

06 ram 1500 big horn 20's and a hemi

 

oh ya its a 4x4

 

oh ya bfg's by the way they are the best

 

I just put on 305 55 20 Nitto Terra Grapplers and love them.
They cost me 1080 installed at a local shop.
Also sprung for a 5th for the spare.
Had them put on some Monroe Sensatrax for 240 installed while they were at it
because I had a couple of shot shocks and didn't want anything to make the handling stiffer.

The tires are absolutely excellent in the rain.
They have basically the same road noise as the stock tires.
I imagine they will also be excellent in the snow with the aggressive tread design.

I did some research first trying to find a good tire in the rain with low road noise.

For price, I had it down to the Cooper Zion's or the Nitto's.
I liked the look of the Nitto's better.
