can’t decide on tires

[mattynite]

So I’ve been looking at some 17x9s for my ‘97 Ram 2500, and I’m having a hard time trying to find out what the most offset/backspacing I can run at stock height. I checked out the galleries on Custom Offsets (was very helpful) and someone on there was running a -6 offset at stock height, but I think the tires I want to run are 305/65s (because I want a wider tire) so does anyone have any idea what kind of offset/backspacing I should get with my rims for that tire?

I also might throw a leveling kit on my truck anyways and go with a -12 offset, I think it would look good but I haven’t really decided yet. I’m not sure how a leveling kit will make my truck ride/tow and I’m under the impression I will need to buy longer control arms and possibly different shocks if I go that route so it might be a little more pricey to do.

So if anyone has some advice, guidance, or answers to my offset question with 305/65s I would really appreciate it. Also, if anyone wants to tell me what they run on their 2nd gen and share a picture so I can get an idea of what it would look like on my truck I’d appreciate that as well. Thank you!

I tried posting a picture of my truck from my phone but it keeps telling me I’ve exceeded my limit? If someone wants to help me with that too that would be cool. Thanks.

Shoot our team an email to info@customoffsets.com and we can get you a TON of information on suspension stuff, for leveling kits, if additional items are recommended for the leveling kit. As for ride quality, its usually the same or very similar!
