Naturally I’ve way over read thousands of things on the internet and of course every install shop is clueless as to what fits.

i have a 2020 ram Laramie 1500 4x4, with the sport wheels.

I think I’m going with either the 3.5 rough country or ready lift. The ready lift says they fit larger tires than the rough country tho.

now I’ve seen 35 12.5 20 on the ready lift with the exact stock wheels I have But ready lift says the 12.5 is too wide and would need less than 11 for the sides.

so really, what can I fit with stock wheels withat most pushing some plastic back etc.. nothing evasive.

thanks!

Just got the 3.5 ReadyLift on my 5th gen with 35x12.5x20. my wheels have -24 offset. Stock is +18 I think. I have to do some plastic trimming, remove the factory mudguard in front. And slightly bend back the interior metal piece that holds the round clip in the front wheel well. Nothing major. Looks and rides great to me. Second pic shows the mudflap that I removed.

Nitto Ridge Graps at 35x12.5r20 on stock wheels rubs UCAs..... Need spacers to fix issue. If you don't, cornering at speed will put a scare in you when the tires grab the UCA..Doesn't rub much but when the outside front dips as u corner it rubs pretty hard... Plastic fits fine. 295/65r20 RG's and 35x11.5r20 RG's should fit fine.

looks great!! I don’t mind minor cutting like you did. I’m glad it rides good as that was a worry too!
I think I might just do a little slimmer than the 12.5 as people have said there will be no issues whatsoever on the stock wheels.
The installers said with an aggressive negative offset it could hit the control arms? It’s good to know you don’t have that issue!

ya I wondered about spacers? do they have any negative impact? I’m thinking maybe just the 295 65 will be what to go with as there won’t be any issues and will be a nice 35 still. Do you have pics?

I have 35x12.50 yokohamas on a 2.5 level and no rubbing. Used 1/4" wheel spacers.

Do you have pictures?? Is it the spacers alone that make it fit and less so much the lift?

also what is your offset?
All stock wheels are +19. Only reason UCA's rub are tires too wide not enough back spacing at least at this lift height.
