Can anyone confirm if you can fit 35x12.5 on the stock tradesman 18” wheels? Or can anyone tell me the stock wheels offset? I can’t find a definitive answer. Thank you!
 
I believe stock Tradesman wheels (17" steel at least) have a +57mm offset. The Thuren suspension website tech area has a good discussion of wheel offset and fitment for tires. 35" tires will mostly be 11 - 12.5" wide which causes rubbing issues with the large positive offset of the stock wheels.
 
For future reference, wheel diameter, width, and offset will be stamped onto the back of the wheel. As an example, the back of my wheel is stamped 17x8J ET45.72.
 
I just put a set of Firestone Destination XT's on my 2020 2500 with stock chrome clad wheels. 35-12.5-18's and no rubbing. No level kit yet either. It gets close but doesn't rub.
 
These finally came in on Monday and got'em installed:

Falken AT3w 37x12.50x17R on AEV Salta 17x8.5 wheels. Goes tomorrow for installation of the AEV Dualsport suspension, but I've put about 100 street miles with no rubbing. There is very slight at full lock on the rear area of the front wheel liners.

That looks awesome! What lug nuts are those? I'm trying to figure that part out before I order those exact wheels.

I am considering the XTs too. Do you have any pics of them mounted up?

Found these Pro Comp series 69 18x9 -6 offset for $300...had my yoko M/T 305/70r18 mounted. Stock height, rubbing on fender liner, going to attempt to re-mold with heat gun, should be enough to provide adequate clearance. I like the look though, plain and simple (haven't seen any 19+ trucks with this wheel yet) .

I like the stock steelies best. Old school, all business wheels. I will be running a 255/80/17
(33x10)
 
My apologies in advance for pirating this thread, but I'm curious about something.
What is the stock wheel rim width?
and
Going to a bigger tire will require recalibration of the odometer/speedometer - at least in my book. Where, other than the stealership, is this done?

Just sign-me, The Numbers Guy!
 
Stock steel wheels for my 2020 were 17 x 7.5" wide, +57 offset. There are multiple "stock" wheel sizes.

My AEV Dualsport suspension came with the AEV Pro-cal. This device has a small wiring harness that attaches under the dash to the back of the OBD port and connectors, and enables setting tire size to an exact rolling diameter. It also allows changing the tire pressure for the TPMS to other values for larger, lower psi tires. The Pro-cal can be purchased separately.
