Default Rim fitment

I'm selling my stock rams and I'm wondering if these will fit my tires. The front are 235/40/18 and rears are 265/35/18.

Will they fit? If not, what would be my best option to fit these tires?

Sup LoganC.

Those wheels are sick.

Did you fit the 265/35/18s on the stockers?!? What tires do you have?

Both, 235s will fit perfect on the 18x8, 35+ you'll be ok on the fronts I think. You might want to go with a 45/50 offest on the rears. They will rub otherwise.

Shipped yet? haha

Awesome! Thanks!

Ahh, I see Nittos 555s run a bit smaller to fit on the 18x8... but 35-40mm offset, the fronts 235s will fit well on the 18x8 wheels.

As for the rear, you will probably have to go a 45/50mm offset with a 18x9 wheels. The 265s will fit well on the 18x9 wheels.

Search other posts on the forum. Been discussed many times on fitments sizes on different types of wheels.

I would not buy them. That 35mm offset in the back. It will still rub the fender. (even with them rolled)

Mine are 40mm up front, and 45mm in the back.

I am pretty sure you are going to have problems with a 35 offset in the rear with 265/35R18 on 18x9s.

With 100% rolled or cut fenders he will be just fine.

I had 9.5" +45 wheels out back with 275s and those did not rub with partially rolled fenders. Those 9" +35 wheels will stick out 4mm further, which will be taken care of by completely rolling the fenders.

you'll be fine. Im rocking 18x10 et 25 pulled and cut rear fenders tho.
I don't see how the fact that you're running wheels with pulled and cut fenders has anything to do with someone fitting wheels on the stock fenders?

With rolled fenders, you should be fine with a 275 in the rear.
