ok im looking into getting a set of 17's for my 05 ram 1500 caus tires are way cheaper. im lookin at getting a set of kumho road venture MT (KL71) tires in 35 inch and i dont wanna run the wheel spacers so what i need to know is what kinda spec's do i need for rim size i know 17x9 atleast with a 5x5.5 bolt pattern i jest need to the rim offset and back space thanks
You have a bit more clearance room than the coil over fronts (width wise), with a minimum of 2" of lift, you'll only require a 17x9 wheel with 4.5" of backspacing and a negative offset to clear.
Keep in mind though, for any decent wheel travel, you'd really want at least 3" of lift...
im jest gonna go with the 2" lift caus i do alot of hunting and i dont wanna have to use a forklift to get a deer/moose in the back of it. what would be the offset range im going to the rim shop today to order a set
