22" wheels

Why was my RAM engineered to have 22" wheels?

You could have selected a trim level with 20 or even 18 inch wheels. But Ram is simply following the trend and going with larger wheels, especially on higher trim levels. What are your truck details? You can swap out wheels and tires on your truck. From what a few members here have reported is that some 18 inch aftermarket wheels have trouble clearing the calipers, so you'll need to test them to make sure they clear if you go with 18 inch aftermarket wheels. But all stock Ram 1500 wheels from any trim level will fit any other trim level. You just need to go with the right tires to match the stock diameter if you want your speedometer to be accurate.

I bought a used Laramie, that I really love by the way, and it came with 22" wheels. I'm seriously thinking about getting a 2" leveling kit and changing out wheels and tires to end up being 285/65 R20. I know that odometer will change somewhat, but not really worried. Just doesn't look like a truck with wheels that size and low tire profile.

It's a form of driver assistance. You will experience an immediate pucker near curbs, potholes, and railroad tracks. Science has proven that people with low profile tires are more aware of their environment

I dislike my 22 inch wheels that came with my 2022 limited. It was an upgrade looking at the sticker. But I am not interested in spending more money to change down to a 20 or 18. My oem tires ( SCORPION VERDE ALL SEASON) are shot at 24k so putting on TERRAINCONTACT H/T tires. $314 a tire plus plus. 70k warranty. I wanted Michelins but they are out of stock in our area. So like I said I am sticking with the 22’s due to the costs.

I didn't mind my 22's Sometimes tire choice also matters on how they ride.
