What's the proper back spacing on the stock wheels. Isn't it 6.5 or 6.85. I'm brain farting and cant for the life of me remember. Thanks.

Offset and back spacing are different, at the moment I can't explain the difference, but know there is one.

Right there is a difference. Backspacing is the distance from the hub plate to the back of the wheel. Offset is measured in relation to the center line of the wheel. You can convert one to the other with some simple math. Although I think you meant to say the backspacing is 6.25 not the offset. Backspacing is measured in inches and offset is measured in millimeters.

My bad. I copied from dodgeram.org and didn't pay much attention, but now that you point it out I notice it.
