275 60r20 falken wildpeaks too small?

[DmarkW]

I have a 2019 ram 1500 that will be getting 2 inch level (maybe 2 inch rear as well to keep the rake) soon. Does anyone have pictures of a ram with 2 inch level or lift and 275 60r20 tires? The difference in cost to go bigger for tires is pretty substantial so im leaning toward this size, but worried they may look too small once the truck is raised. Is it worth it to pay the extra $400+ to get a 34 or 35 inch tire instead?

I have 2.5" front level with 295/65R20. To me they fit the wheel well and the truck.

I've seen a few leveled with 33's and to me they look too small.

Your truck looks darn near perfect, and it's my inspiration for mine when my tires wear out ha. I'm just really torn between a 2 and a 2.5. I do have rear bags for towing, and I'm leaning towards 2.5, but who knows. How's it look down the side? The bigger tires fairly flush with the fenders? I'm assuming no spacers?

I had about 2.75" of rake so the 2.5" level worked out well.

Yeah, no spacers so the tires fit pretty flush with the sides. Looking at the truck straight on you can't see the tires protrude any. The truck looks and feels taller in person compared to how it looks in pictures. Between tires and level the front is about 5" taller than stock and back is 3" or so.

Thanks for the response! Guess I'll have to get a couple measurements and see what my rake is then. I don't like excessively poked tires, but fairly close to flush would be great. If you find time this weekend for a frontal shot or a front 3/4 shot, I'd forever be grateful ha.

Yeah I think only certain vehicles look correct with big negative offset wheels. Truck is currently in the shop waiting on new catalytic converters as I got jacked a few days ago lol.

Here is a screen grab I have from a totally legal and educational video I made on... tire wear. Can kinda see how it looks.

Perfect! Thank you! Oh I did read that post, didn't realize it was you. Hopefully you can get it straightened out. It's a crazy world we're living in.

Yeah insurance is covering the replacement. But now i'm just tempted to go catless so I never deal with this again lol.

Sounds like the logic I would use

Not too bad but yea next set i will go up to 34's
currently general grabber atx 275/60r20
Off road group plus 1.5 front lift = 2.5 at front
And i belived 1" in the back standard on off road group
Also 1.5 bora wheel spacers

33's can look perfect with the right wheel offset or spacers. I've seen 34's on wheels with a conservative offset that didn't look much bigger than stock. Put 34's on a negative offset wheel or with spacers and it completely changes the look.

I have 33's with -12 offset wheels and they pretty much fill the wheel well without looking stuffed.

How do you like tires? Quiet? I have the nitto recon grappler and are a louder than the falkens

Here you go.

 

[Lpsouth1978]

I also have the 295/65r20's, no spacers, with a Motofab 3" front/2" rear level.

I liked them and would recommend them. These are just a bit louder than the falkens.
lol loud tires have never bother me, the mud tires on my previous truck were super loud and it didn't bother me one bit.
2 things to note - these tires are slippery the first miles and also small rocks do get stuck often in the thread
And last this are LT so a bit stiffer than a SL tire

 

[theblet]

They are a bit small, but I think they look good since ram fender walls arent as big as other half tons. I wanted 4 ply tire too. Kinda hard to find in larger sizes.

I had grabbers on my ranger before my ram, and I loved them. They did very well for me, even in snow and ice. Only thing I didn't like was how bad they threw rocks, but you'll have that with any similar tread pattern.

Thank you all for the input. Ending up going with 275/65r20 K02s. I'm happy with the look l, but might go a size bigger on the next set.
