295/60r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers on stock 20's

Do you think yours will rub without lift. I will test fit the Ridge 295/55/20 on stock suspension. How's the ride and mileage performance?
I don’t think they would rub without a lift, but I can’t be 100% certain. I keep them at about 38-39psi and it rides great. Sadly, I can’t confirm the mileage impact as I did the level and the tires at the same time. The level impacts the aerodynamics and the tire weight affects the power consumption, so my mileage is about 16.5 on the highway averaging 77-78 MPH.

Now you have me worried. I really was expecting better mileage out of this truck as is (like pretty much everyone else thought) seeing as it was rated for 17/22 with eTorque. Most I ever averaged on the highway was right at 19 averaging 74-75mph in mild traffic. I usually drive 77-78 like you do but I have 3.92 gears so with your setup and my gears I doubt I’ll ever see 16 again......ugh.
 
Test fit on 295/55r20 on stock 2WD suspension went ok WITHOUT rub. I will evaluate tire, i have 30 days to return and replace if I’m not happy.

Sorry brother, didn’t mean to worry you. ;)
I have the standard Hemi with 3.21 gears.
I’m one of those guys that doesn’t fret the mileage too much because I don’t drive much daily and I’m not easy on my accelerator!
 
I decided to swap it out for the Terra Grappler G2 after a few hours driving it. Two reasons i didn’t like the RG ( may not bother others). 1. Too aggressive look for my liking, Chances of me going off roading will be 1-3% anyway so not good choice for me. 2. i can feel the heaviness of these tires compared to stock, which should be true i think it’s 25lbs plus on stock, so pretty sure mpg will suffer.

Other than that, the tires are good.

Pics of the Terra's then? Did you go with the same size? How much lighter are they and do you feel them riding better?
 
We’ll hopefully now that we are in 2020 folks will start buying and installing again.

First time poster, 2 week lurker. This is my 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie 2WD. Just installed the Rough Country 2" leveling kit and some 295/60r20 Nitto's. Its in getting an alignment now, but the drive over was smooth, running currently at 41 PSI. I am thinking that is low since they are max rated at 80psi. Looking at Nitto's website for more info. Anyway, I am loving the look and thought I would share with the rest.

100% no rubbing full turn both directions, no spacers.
Now that you have been aligned etc...hows the ride? rubbing? Quiet?

So the 295/60R20 fit the stock wheels with a 2” level kits and don’t rub at all? I have a 2020 Laramie 4wd that is leveled, and I’m trying to decide on 295/60 or 295/55. Your truck looks great by the way.

I did Mopar 2" lift , so kind of in same boat pretty much. Local speed shop recommended 305/55/20 and the 295/60 's. All the local shops are pushing terra g2's, since I don't go off road. Just a double jet ski trailer used on a ramp. Trying to decide on geolanders , g2's or toyo at3. Concerned about weight, and don't want to negatively affect the great ride.
 
Here you go.
I'm going to be trying 305x55x20 within the next week amd have a feeling I'm going to get some rub based on yours. I have the laramie 4x4 but I dont believe there is much difference in clearance
