Just had the Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/60/r20s installed. Liking them so far. A slight rub against a piece of plastic wheel liner in the front, but only in reverse and when doing a full lock turn. Not a big deal. A few pics.
Looks good, what wheel offset do you have?

nope I wish!!! I'm looking to get one though. There is still a slight rake with the bigger tires and the off road group.

Must just be the angle, she sure looks level from where I’m standing . I have the ORG on a 20’ Laramie and will be throwing bigger tires on soon but still trying to nail down the best leveling kit option. Problem I have is the ranch hand grille guard adds weight and now gives me about a 3” difference from front to back. I will definitely have rubbing up front with the way it sits now. I may be maxing out the Bilsteins with some new UCA’s to get level.

Thanks, and sorry that I just saw this. But I’ve not been on the forum for a while. I put the Grapplers on the stock Longhorn wheels, and it has not been leveled or lifted. It’s all stock. The tires rub a bit on a full lock turn, but nothing major.

285 65 20s on stockies. Was fine with no rubbing but was close. Used motofab 2.5 level and rough country 3 inch ucas to level since I have the ORP 1 inch lift from factory
How are you liking this setup since you've had it on for a few months? I have a similar truck and am looking to put these exact tires on, was planning on doing the bilsteins to get my level and rc ucas. Did you take your 4x4 off road decal off? I thought about it removing it but haven't commited yet.

I'll let you know what I find out tomorrow. I have an appointment to have a set of BFG KO2s put on (285/65/20). I have a Laramie with Air Suspension. I've had 2 sets of BFG KOs on my last Ram and I won't buy anything else. also, I believe the 285/65/20 are about $300 less than the 285/60/20.

It sounds like the 285/65/20 will fit on a bone stock Laramie Limited with air suspension(???) If they rub then maybe a minor trim on the under body plastics/flaps? I do not have the ORG package on my truck.

So building almost the same truck and want to add bigger tires w/o new rims, lift, leveling kit, etc. Would the 275/65R20 you went with work on the factory 20" wheels w/o rubbing (in all AR suspension settings)? Would likely want a slightly less aggressive tread if you have a recommendation.
Wondering if 275/65R20 would fit Big Horn? No offroad, no air ride...Im currently looking at Patriot RT and Milestar Patagonia MT mostly because of price. My truck is a lease so no level or lift allowed. Trying to get a more aggressive tire

Hey man looks great, I got a BTS and want to get the same tires but I have 2” Bora wheel spacers . I’m thinking I might rub on the little factory mud flap . Do you have much space around there in full lock ?
not too much space the worst is that you will have to cut the mud flap.

how do you like those tires after this amount of time? wish you had gone a different route? are you just running a 2" level?

Just put 305/55r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers in my stock ‘19 1500 Night edition and have no rubbing issues. Stock suspension- no leveling, no lift no air suspension.

I am about to ask my dealer on a price to swap out the stock 20" tires on my Limited for something a little bit wider and E rated. I would like a tire that is a little bit wider, but not sticking way out of the fenders. They would have to go on the existing stock setup with NO lift (air suspension LTD), and I want to make sure they will not rub. Does anyone have 285/60/20 or 285/65/20's on non-lifted 2019 1500's and how do they look and fit? I am leaning toward BFG KO2's, but not married to them. I hear Nittos will rub. Any info today would be awesome. Pics of your tires if you do this would be killer!! Much appreciated (PS- I did search, but most are for lifts)
Hi there, Did you end up putting on the 285/60r20 or 285/65r20 BFG? I have 285/60r20 ordered but would change to the bigger 285/65r20 if yours fit. I have a 2019 totally stock bighorn 4x4 with no factory mudflaps (heard those will make it rub) no lift no level no notta.
Thanks
Tony

Are there any bigger tires that aren't E load? looking at 275/60/20 but would like to go slightly bigger but there only seems to be E load tires and I don't want to add the extra weight for no reason, plus the extra cost.

I have a 2" daystar lift and level links on my 2020 Limited on the front, rear is stock. Running 285/65/20 Falken Wildpeaks, per manufacturer they are 34.6" tall tire. If I have my Weathertech front mud guards on there is a slight rub when turning at full lock. I took the front mud guards off to test and there was zero rub anywhere.
