I have 17x9 951s with 315/75-17 (35 inch) Goodyear Duratracs on my '04 SLT Laramie,but I don't remember what the offset is. I cranked the torsion bars to add 2.5 inches to the front and 1.5 inch blocks in the back to keep it from being nose high.

Check out the Sticky --> https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...dodge-ram.html

For a 17X9 to sit even steven in the fender as a stock 17x8.5, you'd need -6mm. A -12mm will be pushed in .25"

You'll have to compare what tires will fit stock wheels at that point and subtract .25" from half of the measurement.
