More pics or shots of the front wheels after install would have been nice. I'm looking to add spacers to my 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 4X4 because like you, I'm having issues with the tire rubbing on the inside of the tire against suspension arms at full lock. So far all the videos I've seen have only shown the rear wheel after install and ignored the front axle.

Running into the same problem with my 11 Ram 2500. Bought a set of stock ram 19-23 wheels with 285/65R20.. Tires are rubbing top control arms. Did you end up buying spacers? And if so what size?

@@tys9138 I did buy 2 inch wheel spacers from Bulletproof Off Road Adapters (BORA). They were more expensive ($145/spacer X 4 = $580 + tax $45.73) than others, like Rough Country; however, BORA makes their parts in Reno, NV, which is local for me. So I was able to pick them up at the factory and got a small discount. I strongly considered Rough Country's because they were so much cheaper; however, I the more I read about spacers and the potential hazards of cheap Chinese aluminum, and the fact that the R/C spacers are made in China, and they didn't appear to be Hub Centric, I choose the BORA. Hub Centric spacers have a lip around the inner hole that the rim will seat upon and keep the rim perfectly centered - preventing wheel wobble/hopping.and vibration. I strongly advise you look carefully at the spacers to insure they are both Wheel & Hub Centric. Google search for the hazards of wheel spacers and not being Hub Centric. I do intend to get Method Rims when I upgrade my suspension to a Carli 3" leveling kit. Those wheels will have a better built in offset that will allow me to remove the spacers, but for now I need the spacers to prevent the wheel rub. I almost considered steel spacers, but steel spacers weigh nearly 2.5 times more than the aluminum spacers, which are close to 10lbs each, so I stayed aluminum. The appearance of the truck didn't dramatically change, but it is a subtle difference and I really like the new looks.

Hey there, I'm a fellow coug what's a 97' 12 valve. I'm wanting to do the same thing buy me some 4th gen wheels off Craigslist then get some Bora spacers. Do you have any regrets 2 years later how have they been holding up? I was going to do 1.5 inch spacers because I have no fender flares
