they look like the mickey thompson classic II wheels but they only have 6 holes not 8 like the Classic II.




Any idea what size 17 or 18??


Any idea what offset the 2007 Dodge 2500 needs to clear?

Those look like possibly DC's.....either 18's or 20's on 35's.

You need at least 17's to clear the brake calipers. Anything beyond that is gravy.

Backspacing and offset are dependant on wheel width.

You want to keep offset as close to 0 as possible. Positive or negative offset puts stress on the wheel bearings and ball joints and accelerates the wear. It also increases bump steer.

The amount of backspacing that you can get away with depends on tire height and width.

These might possibly be the wheels your thinking of. Not sure if they're an exact match.

Let me know, I have wheels and tires available.
