Helo Max 8 Wheels

My 06 has a 2" Daystar leveling kit and 295/70/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers on the stock rims. I really like the look of the Helo Max 8 wheels. My local off road shop says the Helo rims will not fit on my truck without a lift. But I have seen many 3rd gen Dodges with the Helo wheels. Just wanted to know if anyone here has the Helo's, and if you do what backspacing and offset? I would like to run 35s also. A little rubbing on the arms are fine with me just as long as it don't hit the body. Also can I run 20s with just a leveling kit?

20's wont leave you much room for rubber. i think 35 max with a leveling kit..??...i'm running 20's and 37's and am thinking about going back to 17's and 37's.
Just my 2 Cents....

I had the chrome max 8 on my 05, but they were 17".
Looked great, never any problems.

I've got 4.5" backspaced 17" chrome Helo Max 8 with 285/75/17 Toyo A/T's mounted on them. NO clearance issues at all. I still had lots of room even before I upgraded to 3" Lorenz springs.
