I currently drive a 2019 RAM BIGHORN 1500 and would like two put a 2 inch leveling kit on it. Looking for a sharper look as well as allowing me to install bigger tires. I'm running stock 20" rim x 9 w with 275/65/20 Cooper AT3 XLT tires. I am curious as to what size tires I can upgrade to. And if I went to a 10" rim would it be to wide.
 
I just installed XD 20x9 0mm offset wheels with 295/65/20 Toyo Open Country A/T

Had to perform some minor trimming but it was minimal. Completely changed the look of the truck (will be posting some pictures this weekend in a separate thread)
 
You won't have any problems with 10" wide rims as long as you don't go too crazy with the offset. I have 20x10-12 offset with 305/55R20 tires and a 2" lift without rubbing.

Looks great !!!!!! So if I install a two inch leveling kit to the front keeping my stock 9' rims the 295/65/20
will be ok. I am just concerned that the tire will look lost in the wheel well? What brand of leveling kit did you install ?
 
I think that with a 2" level, I wouldn't go larger than a 34" tire unless you are ok with some modification. I did a 3" front/2" rear level kit with 295/65r20 tires on 20x9 +10 offset wheels, and had to modify the wheel well a bit to eliminate rubbing. Also, the tires definitely fill the wheel wells.

Thank you for your help. I haven't been up to date on some of these new systems. Years ago we were called GEAR HEADS. LOL LOL. Just trying to give the truck a better appearance without having to get to crazy
 
I will post pictures today
