No stock height with standard saggy front. Zero rubbing.

I just dont see buying 4 new 8lug wheels when I have 4 on there already that I know are rated to take the weight of the truck... I bet I could squeeze those on my wheels. I need to measure my rim width again at work one time with the thing for the tire balancer.

Oh ok cool. I might even be able to get that size then before I level the truck.

If your front end is as saggy as mine, i bet your bumpstops are less than an inch off the springs... which will be a saving grace to your fenders ha ha

The reason I ask is cause I want to put them on the stock steel wheels, and im not lifted at all.

[Edit] just looked online at those unique wheels, seems like the only 16" in our lug pattern is 8" wide. I might have trouble squeezing those on stock wheels that are 5.5" wide IIRC.


If it's the 16x7 wheel, it's got 0 offset.
I think the stock steelies are about +15mm offset but I'm not sure

They will work on the stock wheels.
I have 287/75R16 tires on 6.5" stock steelies from a Chevy K30,
and I don't think the dodge wheels are any narrower than that.

I just checked and I have an inch max as well.

I believe my wheels are 16x7, zero offset, 4" back spacing. They have a tucked OEM look, not the flared sticking out look most like.
