Bad Advice - Tires Sticking Out Too Far - Need Correct Size

[WhatevaOnyx]

I have found round the best way when doing wheels and tires is to ask someone how they did their own my last truck I saw a truck in costco parking lot was exactly as I wanted mine the owner was more than willing to talk me through how he did it.

Good advice!

Lots of example pictures on the forum with different offsets. +18 or +20 is likely the least "pokey" you will find in an aftermarket wheel.

I think my +18 is perfect with the oem mopar offroad flares.

Man that is one gorgeous truck! I think your +18 is perfect also, that is a very good look bro! I'm sold on the +18. Custom offsets is going to let me return the wheels for a restocking fee and CJC is going to let me buy the +18's for $279 a wheel to make up for the errant advice so I'm just going to take the hit and grab those +18's!

I'm not recommending these extensions, just posting possible solutions keeping what you have already.

Thank you brother, I thought about those fender extensions also! Not a bad idea at all.

Someone at cjc missed the - on the 12 it should have been +12

Yep, that's probably what happened!

Hi all, I'm new here, just had my 2020 Ram 2500 leveled with the Carli Leveling System and added Method MR305 18x9 -12mm with 4.5 backspacing from the advice by a CJC Offroad Associate. He told me that the tire would stick out 3/4-1 inch only. Well, it sticks out dang near 3 inches and I don't care for it. I love the tires Toyo Tires Open Country M/T 35X12.50R18LT.

Assuming that I cannot fix this issue, I'm thinking I will grab new wheels. Can anyone help me with backspacing and offset numbers so that the tires sit slightly past the factory fender flares? Thanks for your help!

so those are the -12 or +18? that's a solid look with the aggressive toyo mts. i was going to go the 17x9 37x12.50 route but i think this look is a better choice..

These are the +18, 35x12.50 18x9. The stance is super tall already with the 35's. I wanted the 37's but then my Ram won't fit into my garage so I went with these. I have to lower it via the air suspension everytime I tuck it in the garage but it is a minor annoyance.

How you liking the Carli kit for the air suspension? How’s it ride? I’m in the market…

Wow....This looks awesome man. I wanted to go aftermarket wheels with mine but since have the Night Edition with the 20's I'm thinking save the coin on new wheels for now and just throw the 35 x 12.5 Nitto Recon Grappler A/T' and black lugs and save myself alot of money for right now. Reading up on here it appears I can mount the Recon 35's onto the OEM wheel since others have done it even though by spec the Recons are supposed to fit 8.5+ wheels. You may have sold me on it since you have 9 inch wheels so the 8 inch OEM wheels should have just about the same stands as yours in these pics you added.
