Default 275 70 18 - What offset rim?

Im finally replacing the rims and tires on my ram, and I think I decided with a 275 50 18 Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tire, and Fuel Hostage 18x9" wheels. I have a 2" front leveling kit and a 1" rear coil spacer.

The wheel spacing look I'm going for is this



What wheel offset would you recommend for this, without rubbing? I know a 275 isn't an extremely wide tire, so I don't want it to look ridiculous.

Your going to want a 4.5 - 5" backspacing. I would go with the 4.5 unless you don't want them sticking out as much. BTW, that is a really small tire especially for a truck with a 2" leveling kit. That is a little under 29" tall and a little over 10.5" wide. Is your truck 2wd or 4wd?

4wd. I think I will actually go with a 33x12.5x18. What's your thoughts?

I have the same truck with the same level and I am running 35x12.5R20's, so you definitely have room to play with. 33's is a good size but remember, that is the size your truck came with. Use this tire size calculator for your metric sizes.
