Tires and Wheels
I know the tire size and wheel threads have been beat to death but here it goes.... I am thinking about some XD wheels on my 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 QC 4x4, maybe some 17"x9" XD Matte Black Addict, Revolver, or maybe even Enduro wheels. Anyone have any pics of these on their newer 2500?
I couldn't find any specs on these wheels but I am assuming they are strong enough for my 2500 and and are at least the load rating of my stock steel wheels, ie not just made to look pretty on a 1500? KMC Wheels website is crap and I couldn't find any info. With 4.5" back spacing (I think) on them, are they going to stick out past the fenders, sling rocks down the side of my truck, and look goofy without fender flares?
I am also thinking of losing the stock 245 tires and going with a 2" front leveling kit and going up to 285/75/17 all terrain tires, maybe General Grabber AT2's. Any known or foreseen problems with this tire size and wheel combo? Any rubbing?

I would search for the wheel/tire combo threads to see who is running those size tires. As for the wheels, I can't help you. Remember that 2500s have 8bolt wheels, not 5 like the 1500s. If they are really intended for 2500s, I anticipate they'll support the load...
