I have a 2019 Limited on order and I’m currently shopping for wheel/tire options. What’s the max tire size that I can get with my stock air suspension (no lift). 285 or 295. Please let me know.. pictures would be great.

2019 Limited Wheel Options
- Thread starter JBRD
- Start date
I have 305/55/20, which measures 33.2" x 12.5" vs the stock 275/55/20, which measures 32" x 11" The wheels I got have an offset of +1 vs the +19 stock. The 305's might have been too wide without an offset rim, potentially not getting past the clearance of the UCA.

Great, thanks. Any pics? Would luv to see the fit?

I just got mine back from the dealership after having wheels/tires installed. I’m running a 2019 Limited; Air Suspension; Off-Road Group/Package (adds extra 1” lift); long bed, and had Fuel Vapors (20x9 +20 offset) with Nitto Ridge Grapplers 35x11.50. Zero rubbing at full lock, zero cutting. After searching this site, reviewing multiple threads, I’m confident that this is the largest tire (20”wheel) you’ll fit on a limited with air suspension. Had I not added the off-road package, they would have rubbed. Less than 1/2” clearance at full lock.
Here are a few. No rubbing. I went biggest non-LT tire to preserve ride and keep rotational mass low. Could save some $ and go with a 275/60/20 and get same tire width as stock, but taller 33". I wanted the wider look so went with 305

Looks great! I’m gonna do similar. Much appreciated!
question: just air suspension, yeah? Do you have Off-Road Package? Do you have any sort of leveling kit?
Air suspension, revel links, added the Daystar spacer for comfort with the level
What do the revel links and Daystar spacer do? how does it affect the functionality of the air suspension (lowering, raising, etc).?
The links are attached to sensors that calculates and adjusts the amount of air in the bags. The spacer is put between the bag and the body to reduce the amount of air in the bags. You can get a level look with just the links, however more air in the bags makes for a rougher ride.

I am going to try 305 / 45 / 22" Tires on my Stock Limited 22" rims when the OEM tires are toast. They are half an inch slimmer in width than the 33" x 12.5 22" and one fifth of an inch shorter. I am at 15,400 Miles now and the rear seems to have the majority of the wearing amount about 70% to 30% for front.
Were the links and spacers needed to fit tire that you picked? or, was it an appearance that you wanted? is it this item: 2.5" Daystar Comfort Ride Leveling Kit? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/...ear/2019/make/ram/model/1500/submodel/limited

Yes to spacer & links you listed. I was going for look of level. Tires would have probably fit just fine if you want to keep a rake look. I would guess you need to change the offset of the wheel to get the wider tires. Offset of +1 makes the wheels poke out about 18mm more per side vs the stock +19 offset. Other options would be to get a quality spacer on the wheel if you needed more poke. I think you would be perfectly fine with 33" tall tires.Were the links and spacers needed to fit tire that you picked? or, was it an appearance that you wanted? is it this item: 2.5" Daystar Comfort Ride Leveling Kit? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/...ear/2019/make/ram/model/1500/submodel/limited

again, thank you for the help.
By the way, there are a lot of recent discussions on this topic. Here is one I pulled quick by searching:
Which level/lift option for Air Ride is best?
Yes why ? So I think reducing them to the 2.25 or so will give you the lift you want. I remember reading online that the daystar 2.5 inch lift was closer to 2 inches when setup on some trucks. So if the links only have to raise the front end a half inch to achieve the level it shouldn’t really...

Again, the info is appreciated. I’m learning a lot.. Does your air suspension work the same as before spacers and links were installed? Also, I’ve read that a lot of members are running Nitto Ridge Grapplers.. Are they quiet? Comfortable?Yes to spacer & links you listed. I was going for look of level.

Air suspension works normal. Ridge Grapplers are a hybrid tire with a good reputation. My ride didnt change dramatically with my setup. Expensive tires vs what else is available, especially in the wider 305 format. I'm pleased in the two weeks that I have had them.
