Anybody know what the offset is on the factory black 20s? Thinking I'm just going to go with a 2" level and want to put 285/65 tires on. Anybody know if it wil or rub?

I can't say for certain, but if I were a betting man I would say youre in the clear. Youll certainly be okay with the clearing the wheel wells. In gen 4 trucks it wasnt until you went past a 12 wide that you risked rubbing on the control arms, since youre a bit under that I would assume you will be okay.

I heard the center bore of Chevy is bigger, so Chevy rims fit on the Ram but Ram rims not on Chevy.

The discount tire manager by my dealer swears the 33x12.5 won't rub. I took his word for it. I hope he's right. I'll know next week.

there are a couple of great VIDEOS for ready lift on you tube. not only do the indicate a couple level/lift options but state that on a 3.5 lift kit you can put 35x12.5x20's / on a two inch level you can put 285-65-20's. i cannot find the videos on their website so you would have to go through you tube. the better video is a silver laramie .published on may 15/18. not sure how or if we can bring these videos over to this site - but the one video shows off how great the lines of the 2019 ram are-and maybe persuade some of you to chose billet silver. NOTE - both the trucks do NOT have the off-road package. I'm sure this may effect something- maybe someone will chime in with more knowledge.

I think I finally decided what wheel/tire combo I'm going with. They're even coming with $200 worth of rebates at the moment. Going to go with American Outlaw "Lonestar" 20" wheels. 10 mm offset and BFG KO2s in 275/65R20. Was looking at the 285/65R20 and the price difference just isn't worth it to me for an extra 1/2 inch tall and wide. Going to order tonight or tomorrow, then have to order the TPMS sensors so I can get it all installed. Seems none of the shops have them in at the moment and it appears to be a different sensor than the 4th gens. I'll be having the factory black 20s intact with TPMS and tires for sale shortly.

The wheel are 20x10 -19 offset and tires are 305/55 R20. No suspension yet and can’t clear the tires till I do. I’m going to get the ReadyLift SST 3.5 lift.

Always something to be awaited on.

Can't wait to see it finished.

These 5th Gen Rams just get better.

Here is hoping to the lift gets here very soon.

So we know the new bolt pattern is 6x5.5 (6x139.7). Does anyone have confirmation on the other wheel-related factory specs? Would be helpful to have a sticky for these (for example, I'm researching wheel spacers and need to confirm the hub centerbore - I could measure myself if my truck was here already):

- Factory wheel offsets and widths
- Hub centerbore
- Hub OD
- Lug nut thread pitch

Hopefully they matched Chevy's specs on the centerbore and thread pitch so that accessories and wheels are more widely available (78.1mm centerbore and 14x1.5 pitch).

Edit: Centerbore confirmed at 78.1mm (same as Chevy), so Chevy truck wheels may fit...
I cant seem to find any info to confirm the bore size, hopefully its true cause i have a set of 2" chevy hubcentric spacers that i am hoping fit tomorrow after leveling kit is installed...where did u find this info

Can you confirm if the hub size was the same as Chevy? Did the spacers fit?

That looks awesome, but can't help but wonder how the same set up with a level would look.

I was debating a level. What are your thoughts? I like the idea of a bit taller, and level, but dont know if I want the added gap it would give me in the wheel well.

That looks great! I'm dying to get mine on but there's no way I would clear them without rubbing because of my offset! Readylift needs to get off their butt and put that 3.5" kit on the market.

Slick rig BZ23.
