Ok so for this money burning a whole and it needs to go before my wife allocates it elsewhere.
I’ll caveat this as I’m brand new to trucks. So having actual tire size options is running my brain ragged.
My desire. No rub. Prefer no trimming but if I have to learn what this zip tie thing is or bust out my dremel so be it.
Plan: I have a ‘26 with air ride. Bought the Revel level kit with 2.5” spacers.
20” Fuel with offset options of -12, 1, 20?
NITTO G3 P275/65/20 or LT285/65/20?
Tires are going to be Nitto G3. Prefer P rating as I do a lot of hwy driving but want my truck to look like a truck and when needed behave like one. So for sizes I want as close to 35s as I can get. Unfortunately for the P rating the tallest I can go is 275/65/20 which is 34.2” but 10.8” wide which is 1/2” narrower than oem. I can live with this but don’t want to look like bicycle tires but I know narrower does handle better in wet and snow. And it rains a lot here.
My other option is to just get the actual size I want which is 285/65/20 but this is an LT tire and weighs 13lbs more than the 275/65 and is obviously an LT vs P and all that entails. So again I do mostly hwy and I don’t tow anything (maybe one day I’ll have a boat, maybe).
Will the LT be that much more rough compared to the P? If anyone has experience with both would be great. I may very well be thinking too much int this and shouldn’t get the size I want. It is a truck and 13lbs per axel probably won’t be noticed by me but this thing already sucks at mpg (not that I really care but I would prefer to not negatively affect it without gaining something back).
Anyway, any experience from you seasoned ram guys with aftermarket set ups would be great.
So which offset based on those tire options and which tire?
