I'm tring to figure out if I can use my stock wheels when I lift my truck. The guy at BDS said I need to find out the back spacing on my wheels to see if they will fit. I wanted the new BDS 6" susp. lift for 2009 Ram 1500 5.7 hemi 4X4. It is the laramie so I know it comes w/ the 20" wheels and I was told that they need a backspacing of less than 5" for it to work. The BDS Part #

Kit# 296H

And I wanted to put the BFG A/T KO325/60R20 D Rated tires on the stock 20's

Whether I can use these stock wheels or not will dictate if I have enough money to get the truck lifted.
Any advice and knowledge in this area would be greatly appreciated.

The reason I'm asking is that I have the truck on order and don't get it for about another 2 weeks

 

i believe some drop arm ends up hitting the stock rims. i know of two BDS lifted 09's and myself with the procomp that needed new rims with different spacing. I have the laramie and it had the 20's just so you know our trucks are comparable

 

Ram 20x9: +.75" offset...mathematical backspacing 5.25"

 

That is incorrect. The stock Laramie wheel has 5.75" of backspacing. I've got a set sitting in the garage without tires mounted on them. I took a tape measure and measured them myself.
