this truck just wants my money. $70 shift lever from ford due to a pinched wire.
now im looking at a $65 glow plug controller, maybe 8 $9 glow plugs, and i still gotta figure out why the steering keeps jumping. either bad balljoins/tie rods/steering box or its just all of the above.
and it still needs new wheels to put my tires on


atleast it had new batteries and alternator when i got it lol

OK need some input.

The truck I am working with is a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500.

I will be putting on a 6 inch lift and MAYBE a 1 inch body (prob not)

I want to run 20x12 wheels with 35x12.5x20 Tires

The wheels are 20x12 with Offset: -44; Back Spacing: 4.75

Do you see any reason why these will not fit/work? Will there be a harsh rubbing? I know I might rub at full lock, but I may be able to trim a little.

And lastly, do you see the wheels causing a vast amount of wear on the truck being its a 1/2 ton, I.E on the Ball joints, suspension, ect?

20x10 with 4.75 back space would prob be better. 12's with only 4.74 back space is going to push the edge of the wheel and tire out past the fender...a look that I personally don't prefer. 12's will also put more stress on the front end parts that you are concerned about. Maybe a little scrub at full lock, but with the same back space, it's equal for both sizes. I'm gonna search to see if I can find a pic of what I think the 12's will look like...
