Just picked up a 2020 Ram BTS. Have the ORP and will be installing 2” or 2.5” motofab spacer and Zone UCA’s. I’ve seen people running the the 295/65R20’s on stock rims. I plan on keeping my stock rims, and wonder why I don’t see any posts for 35/11.5’s? Isn’t it essentially the same size? My bother has 35/11.5 on his 2015 Sport Stock rims with no rub. He just has Bils at 2.8 with stock UCA’s.
Anyone see any issues with my planned set up going with the 35/11.5?

I had them on stocks with 2.5” level. 35x11.5 that is. No rub

Did you use a spacer for the rear? I have the ORP as well.

Do you go trial ridding or off roading at all? That’s awfully snug in there but looks nice (y)
Do some light off-roading. Ending up putting on Mopar lift with off-road springs. Never had any problems with it while articulating

Just want to point out that with a lot of tires when you go from a lt295/65/20 to the 35x11.5, the 35x11.5 typically has deeper tread, more ply, and is a heavier tire. Even though they are essentially the same size tire. So that is a consideration.

I’m guessing the 295/65 would have a smoother ride? Or am I wrong

Depends on the tire really. With the ridge grappler the difference in those 2 are tread depth and weight. Both are 10ply. But that doesn’t hold true for all tire.
