305 70/R18

[rking300]

Just bought a 2024 rebel and traded in my 2016 rebel.
On my 2016 it had air ride system, and I was able to place 305 70/R17 on and had no issues whatsoever which was great due to pulling my RV.

On my 2024 night edition I want to put 305 70/R18 (night edition has 18 inch wheels of coarse) on it again however this one doesn't have the air ride system and I'd rather not lift due to towing my RV.
Will they fit without lifting?
Will they fit if I do the 2" front leveling?
or Do I have to lift the truck?
thanks all

Glad you got it figured out. I recently bought my 2021 Ram 1500 that came with 35/12.5R18 wildpeak AT3Ws. I loved the 35s but AT3w are notoriously heavy and They were 12ply, so they road really rough. Not to mention, I was only getting 13 MPG CITY. So I switched to 275/70R18 Milestar Patagonia AT Pro. The ride is significantly better. The MPG is 2+ better, but they don’t look at good (33’s) as the 35s.

Curious what MPG you are getting and how stiff the ride is? Those are 10ply right?

 

[rking300]

They are 10ply. I ride is great with no road noise which I love. Im getting 15s mpg
but had the same tires in my 2016 rebel and was going 18s mpg. Not sure why my milage is so much less in my 24. Same engine the 5.7 but this one has etorque.

A fellow 5th gen ram rebel owner I saw has 305/70R18 on his truck with just a 2" level lift. Looks beefy. So now I know it fits with a level... But does it rub is my question?
Apparently this tire size is only 0.22" smaller than 35x12's. Anyone know if these would run or not?

I have a 2021 Bighorn and have 22” Vision wheels and 33x12.5 Toyo Open Country AT3’s on the way. Hoping they fit my stock suspension without any modifications.

I run these to my 19 Ram on 18” methods. I’m running icon shocks with a 1.5” lift up front. They rub at full turn but not too bad, I’m thinking of heat molding the plastic fender liners where they rub. I can post photos shortly.

You can see where I get some rub, planning to heat mold the fender liners.

This is 295/70/18 on my last truck. TRX wheels with a 5100 level and added ORG springs in rear.

You sure they aren’t 295/70 or 285/75? I don’t think anybody makes a 295/75R18.

Actually these were from my 2022 Ram. They are Falken Wildpeak AT3W. LT295/70/18. 34" x 11.5". The size was pretty spot on. But this tire DOT is from (W)51 2021. I think they stopped making that tire/size? Either way they were awesome in every 5k mile I put on them before I got rid of the truck. My friend that bought my truck (Ecodiesel) wanted mileage so he's got them sitting there. I'm tempted to take them back and put on my 2025 with ORG but I haven't done anything up front yet. 5100s sitting in garage waiting for Bilstein to make my feel confident about 25 application. BTW, the 2022 black I showed was not the Ecodiesel before anyone asks. Different story.

This is how they sit today. Story there. Only 6k miles on them.
