Wheel Selection help

Mikeh1725 · Apr 3, 2012

After searching numerous thread and trying to use the sticky at the top for back space help I've given up...

History: Bought the truck yesterday (04 250 4x4, stock ride height with 2008+ King Ranch Wheels) and discovered the issue the back spacing causing the tires to rub the front spring (go easy, I WAS a dodge guy). I looked into the idea of wheel spacers but for 600 bucks, I'll just buy the correct rims and sell the King Ranch wheels without tires to offset the cost.

With that, I want to run the stock 275/65/20 tires and they are practically brand new. I am interested in some 20"x9" rims but am clueless as to what backspace/ offset I would need to clear the springs.

These possible?

Better opinions?

Thanks for the help,

I think that offset for that wheel in 20x9 is only one available in our bolt pattern. I put 20x9 Fuels on a '08 that were a 0 offset if that helps any. -10 is pretty much in the middle between 99-04 BS and '05+ BS.

Anyone feel free to correct me if i'm wrong...

hmm, if that is in the middle I bet it would be close to rubbing the spring. May give them a shot and hope for the best.

Welp I got my wheel situation figured out. Called discount tire here and grapevine and they had a set of xd monsters someone ordered but backed out of the deal and went with 22s. Lucky for me I got to the 20s at cost.
