Default Calling all Cummins leveled with 35's

Hey guys I really need a couple questions answered here...

Can I run a 12.5 wide tire on an 8inch wide rim without any troubles?

The bolt pattern on my 2005 2500 cummins would be 8x6.5 correct ?

Do you guys think that a 17x8'' wheel, Backspacing 4.5 Offset 0.00 Would rub with 35x12.5 bfg MT's?

And will this wheel give me a wide stance with the 4.5 backspacing ?

Thanks alot need answer quick i have a chance to buy a set of wheels at a very good price!!

i've got 35x12.50's on my truck right now with just a leveling kit. theyre on eagle alloy 17x9's with 4.5" of backspacing and -11 mm offset. they come extremely close to rubbing but i clear them. 8" wide rims might be a little skinny for the 12.50's. i really like the stance, i dont really care for the stuffed look for the wheel wells, thats why i picked up my 4.5" lift today. but to each his own

No, you need a negative offset in order for the wheels to stick out giving you the wide look. Mine are -12mm offset and 5" backspace and only stick out 2", backspacing doesn't affect the way wheels stick out at all.

My Wheel and tire specs are: Tires 275/60/R20, Wheels 20x10 5" Backspacing, -12mm offset.

On a friends 03 3500 he had 315/70s on stock wheels with no lift for a while. They barely rubbed on the lower control arms. You should be perfectly fine
