New guy + a question
Hey all. Im a new dodge owner 
recently picked up a 02 1500 4x4 with the ol 5.9 in her.been lurkin around the forums for the last month or so trying to learn as much as possible about these trucks, you guys have helped more then you know! Anyways the truck is my daily driver so you wont be seeing anything to big from me. BUT i do have a few plans for the truck! first thing i did was got some por15 to coat the framerails, which were starting to show signs of surface rust from our harsh canadian winters, and sprayed the rest of the underbody with a cheaper rust preventer. i also got myself a paintable grill which im going to color match to the truck, and a 2.5inch level kit. and now im in the market for wheels and tires.. tires i plan on getting are nitto terra grapplers 305/70-18 and wheels are 18x9 with +10 or 0 offset.. my question is will these wheels fit okay? i know i shouldnt have problems with a stock wheel, but stock wheels have a +19 offset, so these will be sticking out slightly more. i did search so dont give me ****! anyways thank in advance guys, and i hope to learn more during my stay here

RE: New guy + a question
should fit fine with the leveling kit. you might get just a little bit of rub when you turn them all the way. you're also gonna get more wear since the tire is 12" and the rim is only 9 (at least that's what the tire guy i talked to said)
