I bought a 1999 DODGE Ram 1500 4WD with a 3” lift, which had oversized tires on it. LT315/75/R16 on stock 16” Rims. The problem I have every time I turn, the wheel rubs on the inside frame and the wheel well, Intern tearing up the tires and the plastic wheel well. I like the meaty look and the height but I want to fix the problem. I want to put 18” rims on it and new tires. I know it’s got something to do with the offset and backspace of the rim and that’s what I do not understand. My question for you is what rim would you recommend and what size tire would you put on it or what backspace and offset I would need to fix the problem without loosing too much height? Or if I decided to keep my factory 16” what would you recamend?
Please post your answer or send it to me at da_spazzz@yahoo.com
THANK YOU

If stock rim you need a 1/4 to 3/8 off set plate make sure the studs are long enough>>My 04.5 rubs 315x70x17 if I lock the wheel so don't lock the wheel>Don't know about 18" rims except the load is not for hauling weight>
