A little help? 35x12.50 or 37x12.50 with no lift. What rim offset?

[DinosRam]

35x12.5 x 18 with a +18 offset

Do you tow at all? If so I'd nix the 37's just for that reason.
To me 37's look too big on just a leveled truck, not a fan of that "stuffed" look but that's me. I prefer leveled and 35's or a ~3-4" lift and 37's, I think those combos look the best but again, that's just my opinion.

I do tow, but no max tow and no 5'er. Most would be a 12000lb lobster boat that I tow 2x a year, other than that, just a dump trailer. Side note - I currently move that boat with my max tow package half ton = Sketch!

I do a lot of offroad and snow travel, And I don't mind the stuffed look, I'm just having a hard time rationalizing 37s

Here's my current truck if you guys don't make too much fun of me for driving a gm, which I'll be trading in or selling any day now. Leveled on 285/75/18, And I just can't help to think they'd look small on a bigger truck though.


Im leaning towards the 37s but I'm gonna sleep on it 1 more day I think. In any case trying to order tires/wheels before my truck gets here since we will likely have snow by then haha

This is power wagon stock height?

 

[RPS1030]

35x11.5 (285/75/18) on stock Laramie 18s with 1” front lift springs




37x12.5x17 on ‘16 Power Wagon wheels, same suspension, rubbed on radius arms and Thuren Swaybar too much. Stuck with the 285s until soon. Have taller springs, radius arms, trackbars and Kings sitting, and waiting on CJC to get the wheels in.

My opinion: A Cummins with a lift or level go 37s. No lift or level go 35s.

Heck, sometimes I even think my 37s look small on my lifted truck after having them on there for a while now.

This is no lift with 37s. For me, this is too stuffed.

Do you have any issues running 17" wheels?
This is what I kinda want my truck to look like if I ever get it...

 

[Brewbud]

I don't have any issues. Discount tire knew where to place the weights to miss the brake caliphers. I have heard some wheels have more of an issue. I took the easy way out and went with a 17" I knew friends had no problems with.

Cool. I haven't decided on a set of wheels yet.
It's good to see other people have red trucks I was feeling alone for a bit. Lol

Anyone got a picture of a Delmonico red truck on grey/titanium wheels? Having a hard time visualizing as I don't even have the truck yet. Trying to decide between black and titanium CJC Methods. Basic I know but there aren't a ton of 17 options

Trying to get my winter tires mounted in wheels before I receive it so I am ready to go

 

[Hibiki54]

CJC Off-Road suggests that you need a 5.25 minimum backspacing to fit 37s on Ram trucks.

Would -19mm offset stick out too far without flares?

Offset depends on the width of the wheel and tire. A 9" wide wheel with -18 mm is going to stick out quite a ways. The pic below is +20mm and the tread is just covered on a 12.50 wide tire. The sidewall does stick out a bit. Those are with the stock Laramie flares. A 9" wheel with -19mm offset will stick out a little over 1.5" farther. So I guess it depends on what you are looking for. It will definitely keep the truck dirty. LOL

The plan is below:

315/70/17 Ridge Grapplers Load Range E
17x9 Raceline Wheels 8x6.5 w/ -19mm backspacing

The plan is below:

315/70/17 Ridge Grapplers Load Range E
17x9 Raceline Wheels 8x6.5 w/ -19mm backspacing

That is going to stick out and beat up the side of your truck with rocks, especially without flares. And if you are not leveled you are probably going to get some rub on your fender well. Might require some trimming.

That’s a terrible plan. The offset is wrong. Scrap that plan. Try again.

 

[Thompsre08]

I went with +18mm Method NVs and 35”x12.5 on stock suspension. Slight little rub on plastic in uneven terrain but a heat gun will take care of that

Now that you are makin me blush here is a side profile too. Doesn’t fill as well as a 37 but not small by any means.

Good choice going with the 17" wheel. It will give a nice ride, especially if you are going to see some dirt. You should definitely go with a +18 to +22 offset with that wheel and those tires though. As mentioned, you will definitely be beating the heck out of your sides. The wheel in my pic here and above is a 17 x 9 +20 Raceline Avenger. 17s with the right offset can be difficult to find in some brands. The Raceline Avenger with that backspacing/offset is only available from CJC. AEV, Battle Born, Method and others all have wheels that will work well.

I tell my wife this all the time Lol....

Nice looking truck by the way!

17x8.5 with 27MM offset works really well with 35x12.5-17's. no rub anywhere and very little crap gets flung on the side of your truck or door handles.
