Off-road ready! New Rims & rubber 265/65r18s

[blaster9]

@blaster9 Thanks for being such a good sport with the pics and answering questions!

So…buddy, pal, have you put in on ramps in aero/NRH to see how well it clears the fenders as it articulates? lol 😉 🙏

Nope! But i can promise you this, if Im ever in a position where i need to articulate, i wont be in Aero or normal mode haha. OR1 FTW

lol I was thinking more like the unplanned hop a curb or going off the shoulder in an intersection. Would just be good to know how close you (I) would be to creasing the fender. I’ve got wheels en route and will take pics when I can.

 

[blaster9]

Oh I’ll definitely hop a curb, thats my jam. But still never do it in normal or aero. Not enough GC esp with those front mud flaps

Thank you so much for posting the pic! It made a new character to your L 🔥

thx!

I love my stock wheels, but the tires are a let down. Coming from a 5.7 Ram with Cooper ATP and a 6.4 Ram with Nitto G2s, I need a little more rubber. Hoping to see some people running oversized tires on stock wheels here in the near future.

 

[blaster9]

I'm sure you'll see that on the 18s quite a bit but probably not so much on the 20s

 

[JP_Gervs]

Wondering if a 275/55/20 would fit…about 1.5” taller, but only .25” wider than the stock tires.

 

[blaster9]

There are a few people that have installed them. I think they did BFG KO2s so those are actually a little narrower than a normal 275/55/20. Supposedly they have no rubbing issues...then again, I just saw someone on the FB group post 285/55/20s and claim no rubbing issues either which i think is a load of BS lol. Perhaps they've only driven in a straight line haha

 

[JP_Gervs]

Lol, I just requested to join both FB pages. Very interested in some new rubber, maybe even swapping wheels. I found a like new set of Gladiator 20’s with 275/55. Grab them and sell mine? Maybe.

 

[blaster9]

That could be a nice swap

Love the setup! Can I ask what brand amber light inserts and where did you pick them up from? Really appreciate it!

As an update RE minor rubbing, I did end up cutting some of the pinch weld on both sides, as well as the wheel well liner on the driver's side. When it rubs the liner, it sounds like a baseball card in the spokes of your big wheel haha so i cut about an index card size out of it. It's virtually eliminated now.

That airlinks lift rod should come out soon!

 

[blaster9]

Yes, we’ve been testing them for Shane

Hey man. I’m digging the amber lights a lot. Could you be so kind as to tell me how you wired them? Do they run as DRL?

Yes, they come on with the ignition. I wired the grd to the negative battery post and wired positive via add-a-fuse to one of the fuses in the box.

Did you have any problems getting your TPMS sensors to update? I went with XD Heist wheels, but I can't get my TPMS sensors to sync up.
