295 or 285 tires for 20inch Ram rim - Discussion

[Mbrigh3]

Go with 35x12.50R20 ! The other sizes don’t have the girth the truck requires , I went the 295-60-20 and 285-65-20 on my 14 Ram and it looked sick until I went with 35x12.50’s - here’s a couple of pics of my 19 BIGHORN with 35x12.50R20 Thunderer Ranger ATr tires

12.5 rubbed the crap out of my control arm on the 4th gen and without a 4 inch lift it just looked to stuffed.

These are LT285/60/20. Little bit of a stiffer ride for sure, but road noise is pretty minimal. No rubbing, 2.5" lift

can you dm me or post a picture to see how flush the wheel/tire is to the flares? whats the offset of the wheels as well?

I had absolutely NO rubbing whatsoever with my 14 with 35’s and 2” lift with stock wheels , if it would’ve rubbed I would’ve went with a smaller size or lifted a little more, I did use 1/4” spacers though, my 19 is setup the same identical way with no rubbing, I can’t take it anywhere without people complimenting on it! Here are some pics to prove it

This is a 295/60R20 on stock 20" wheels. No spacers & zero rubbing. I do have a 2" Rough Country Level Kit.

how close are your tires to the control arm?

Went Lt 275x60r20 Falken wildpeaks At3w on Ram black wheels. These are D rated 8 ply and measure a bit wider then the 4ply P rated.

P rated is 33x10.8 vs D 33x11 per falkens website

Before and after pics included

Stock for me was 275x55r20

My wheels are +1 offset too! Fuel Contra 20x9 +1....and I think I am still getting a little rubbing depending on the angle of the turn and elevation.

Have you got any side on pics to see the +1 offset?

What offset are your methods? Do they poke past the guard?

Here is a side photo...I can’t speak for the 295’s but these tires ride better then the stock tires.

What leveling kit do you have

Running 285/65R20s with the 2” Mopar lift kit

What is the distance from the ground to top of the wheel well on both front and rear?
