the tires will be 34.23 inches and the 35's come to 35.19 so they are pretty close and the width is 12.08 instead of 12.5 so they are almost the size of 35's so i am not to upset and they will be free and if i want 35's i have to pay so i will be satisfied with the slightly smaller tire

Hey guys.. old post I know, but where exactly are the wider tires rubbing on stock 2wd Ram trucks? Say on 2009+, I'd like to run a 13 inch wide tire (325/50/20).. it's roughly the same height as stock (275/60/20), but 2 inches wider. The stock chrome clads 20x9 have an offset of +20mm

Is it going to rub on this elbo? I'm asking because others are running 305/55/20 which is taller, but thinner and they are saying it fits but with a very minor rub but only on full lock. I'd like to know where the 305/55 might be rubbing.. is it on this elbo? and if you think 325/50 will rub too.. in a way the +20mm offset might help me out with the wider vs taller mod.
