bought the wrong wheels??

i just bought some used wheels and tires from a guy that said he had them on a 05 ram like mine. they are 18x9 metal moto wheels with 4.75 bs, i didnt think to check the bs until i go home and now it has me worried. they have 35's on them I wanted to run them at stock height or with a leveling kit. i also got a set of pocket flares with them because he said they stuck out a little... think they will fit?

Nope they won't fit with 35's leveled or not. You'll need at least 4" of lift to clear them comfortably unless you do some fender work.

Nah it won't hurt to test fit them. They will rub the back of the front fenders. You can roll the bottoms of the fenders a little and they will clear then. 33's will most likely fit without problems.

How wide are the tires?

I run 34" x 11 1/2" tires on Moto Metal rims (17x9) with 4.5 back spacing and I don't rub at all.

I do have a 1 1/2" lift on the front.

35's fit on stock height with stock backspacing. On moto metals they rub, even with a leveling kit. Thats what I have, and I just trimmed the inside of the fenders and they don't rub at all. You can't even see the trimming unless you look under the fender wells. It was worth it to me
