I have searched and all I come up with are stock 20's .. I cant find a thread or post about larger tires on the stock 18" big horn wheels (the silver painted 5 spokes). Has anyone done so and care to share some pics? Please include tire size, brand, stock suspension or otherwise.

I have a set of 275/70 r18, need to find the time to be mounted, 33" instead of the OEM 32". I'll post a pic when they are on the truck. All my research indicates a 33 x 11 will fit with no rubbing on stock suspension. 34" will fit a Rebel or Off Road Group, but then you might run into tire width problems interfering with the upper control arm requiring spacers for the stock rims

The search function here is crap, you're better off searching 5th Gen Rams through Google

I recently went through the same thing and gave up and just went with 275/70/18 Maxxis Razr MT tires because I couldn't get any answers. I went with the Maxxis because it gets fantastic reviews and it's quieter than other MT tires, it's also a little taller than other tires the 275/70/17 is 33.5inches and was a couple tens taller than any others I found. If you have a level you can probably get a 285/75/18 but that info is really blurry as well. Good luck!

How is the ride on that? I'm curious to know. I'm about to buy some 275/70R18 General Grapplers on the Stock 18" Big Horn wheels. Any clue if they will rub or anything? I'm also 2WD and added a rough country 2" Strut Kit. Attached is what it looks like right now w/ only leveling kit.

You’d get no rub without your level too. I put on rebel takeoffs (275/70/R18 Duratracs) and had no issues even before I added the Bilstein 5100s

Took your advice. Decided to go the same size. I love it! Huge difference. Thanks for the help!

Too bad I didn’t see this earlier, I would have seen if you were close to me as I have a set of 275/70 Toyo Open country you could have tried out.

I was looking at Cooper Discoverer AT3 tire size chart lady night. 295/70R18 is an inch bigger in diameter (34") as compared to 33" dia for stick 275/70R18. They should fit nicely. Not sure how much bigger than stick you want to go, but that's how I consider sizes.
