Post Wheel/Tire Question

Ok I have a 2005 1500 hemi ram qcsb 44x4. I have to tgc 2.5" leveling kit and am looking to install 35x12.50x20 nitto trail grapplers with the kmc rockstar wheels. If anyone has a similar setup what size wheel spacers did you use and where did you get them? I also need to know the bolt pattern and offset and width of the rim that would be the best. I know its a big tire for just a level but I am doing it for looks. Its very seldom offroad and I can deal with some rubbing while turning tight corners. Any info or opinions? I am really curious about the tires I havent seen anyone running them yet and thats the look Im going for!

here ya go!! if you are getting new wheels and get the right backspacing you will not need spacers.

^^^Looks familiar lol thats the look I want but those 33s dont look to small either. Any issues rubbing on either of them and how far out do they come outside the fenderwell? the 285/70/17s I run now dont come out at all and the guy who mounted them said that any tire up from this one would have to come out farther or they would rub where they are mounted. EJM05 what is the width of the rockstars you got? and did you use wheel spacers or match them up?

Also I had been thinkin about going with the 18" rockstars with 35s It would be about $400 cheaper all together but wont look right I dont think anyway. O yea did anyone doing the tire setup use a programmer to deal with the tire size difference? I have a custom SCT tuner but it doesnt do tire size so I might invest in a SC if necessary

with you factory wheels it would require spacers to go much larger, if you get the rockstars with the backspacing, in a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern, you WONT need spacers! The 33's wont have ANY rub issues with a level, my tires before these(when you drove my truck) were 33's. yes 18's are a good choice, and yes SC does adjust speedo!!

good deal. I will more than likely get a used SC just get the right backspacing on the rockstars and probably finance the tires lol. Now all I need to do is just get this car sold and I can start on this mod. O yea if anyone wants it I have a 84 turbo conquest that doesnt run idk y $350 lol
