Hey, I am wondering what my best tire size option would be for my 2019 ram 1500 big horn. I am getting a 2 inch readylift level kit installed soon and can’t decide what size tire I want to throw in my 20x9 stock rim. I will be buying Mickey Thompson Baja boss A/T’s 33x12.50? Will I need a spacer with this option? 295/55r20?(33.2x11.6) 295/60r20?(34.3x11.6) not sure what would ride best and look the best. Any help would be much appreciated!

It's all subjective. Almost everyone will have a different opinion. Get what you think looks the best and fits your needs for price/performance. I have 275/65/20(34.1") Kenda Klever M/T on my truck with 2" level. Got them used for $400 for the whole set. Wouldn't be my first choice if I was paying full price for new tires, but they look good on the truck, and no issues with rubbing.
 
I would like to go with the 33x12.50 but I cannot find anyone running those on stock rims. Everyone seems to have aftermarket rim with -18 or more offset. I just need to find out if I need a spacer, and if so what’s the lowest distance I can go
 
Most 33x12.5x20s will fit your 9 inch wide rim. The kicker is offset. You will certainly need spacers, probably why you don't hear of many guys using the stock rims. If done right spacers are OK though. Race cars with way more power than our trucks use them without issue all the time.

You just need the offset of your current rim and tire, see how much wider the new set up is and do the math. Tiresize.com has a lot of information that may help.

Figuring mine was super easy. When looking at the BDS lift, they just tell you what combo to buy and it works.
