I have an 02 ram 1500 4x4 with 2.5" leveling kit. I want to get 1.5" spacers for the wheels and run 305/55/20(33x12.50) zeon's. My question is has anyone tried spacers with factory 20's and what size tire did you use?

 

Spacers are fine. Just remember this... Most spacers that you can buy are NOT hub centric. Hubcentric eliminates the possibilities of lossening lug nuts and centers the wheel exactly as it should, so no vibrations or imbalances occur.
You should be able to run 33's no issue's as you've stated. 06+ rams come factory with 33's. You will want to get fender flares possibly because the tires will be sticking out a little bit. I would see where they are first before spending the cash on flares.
The Zeon's are not that great in mud. If that's your goal, get another tire. The Zeon's are outstanding in water and are road friendly so they will last a while and are super quiet. So, if your gonna be doing any mud driving, I would reccomend a more aggressive pattern. Besides, the jump from the 275/60/20's (33"x11.75") to the 305/55/20 (33.25"x12.5") is like another $450 for a set. At that price you can pick up a set of Toyo's.

 

Thanks dirtydog I was definately using hub centric!! heard too many horror stories not to. I dont do much off roading and it is more a work truck that I need to look good! I do need good snow and gravel traction, and highway is important also. But thanks for the reply

 

Zeon's will be perfect for you then!

 

I just bought some new wheels and took my spacers off. They are hub-centric and are 1.25" thick. I am looking to sell those now if you check the marketplace section.

You will have to cut the stock lugs down about .5" or so.

 

thanks rssjib, i want 1.5 or 2". btw are those beer kegs in the back of your truck????? nice looking truck

 

Greg, you disbled pm's??? How much you want since he isn't interested?.....Rich

 

i ran 2'' adapters on mine with stock 20's i still run them on my new rims never had a lik of problems just install them to the correct ft poinds and re-titen after the first 400 miles

 

Thanks I will. so how far outside the fender did that put the factory wheels? and do you have a pic?

 

you cant really tell in the pics but you will need flares if you like your paint!!!
