I Saw this today at the dealership but he drove off before I got a chance to talk to him.

I wish I had better pictures. It’s 33/12.5/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock bighorn rims and according to the dealership a 2” leveling kit. They said they did not think he had wheel spacers. Is that possible? I didn’t think you could go 12.5 wide without rubbing in the front end.

I like the stock wheels on my truck (20’s). I’d like to see the 33/12.5 on there.

Pretty sure they will fit but they will be extremely close to hitting the upper a arm. I know you can use a 1/4” spacer to achieve the extra clearance.

I have 305/55/20 BFG KO2's on my stock Ram Sport, no rubbing and at least 1/4" clearance from the upper A arm. Not quite a 12.5" width (they are 12") but still a 33" height.

I just installed 35x12.5x20 on my stock BTS rims. The tire shop said they would rub on the upper ball joint so I put 1.5 inch spacers on. Well that caused significant rubbing in the wheel well and actually ripped off the front little mud flap. I pulled the spacers off and reinstalled the tires to find 6mm of clearance at the ball joint and no rubbing anywhere. This is with the off road package plus a 2 inch motofab level kit, so 3 inches over stock.
