New Wide Shoes

[Dam714]

Just put a set of Toyo AT 2’s 305/55/20 on my Laramie and couldn’t be happier. I gambled on them fitting without a leveling kit but they worked out with no issues and the stance with the taller wider shoes is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted to wait on the leveling kit until Bilstein or someone like them released a strut replacement option to keep or improve the ride but I think I may forgo the leveling and put that money to use somewhere else. I’ve driven Chevy’s for 30+ years and just wasn’t overwhelmed with the 2019 changes and went to a local dealer to check out the Rams. So glad I did. To say I love my new truck is an understatement.

Looks great, 305's and still well within the wheel wells. Have you had those tires before?

It’s been a while but I did have them on my Z71 a few years back and no issues.

now I'm gonna bother you for a photo from the back of the truck so I can see how wide they look head-on. Whenever you have a chance if possible. Thanks.

Here ya go.

Awesome, thanks. Now just debating go 305x55 or 305x60 I have the ORP so I have that extra inch to play with.

How's the clearance to the upper a-arm? That's the real determining factor on width typically.

No issues at all.

Truck looks great and welcome to the Mopar world.

 

[Bellpa]

Love it!

Someone on here is running 295/65/20 on stock suspension so I assume you can fit the 305/60/20 no problem

How is the ride? Any vibrations at highway speeds?

You're going to have a hard time finding 305/60/20 tires. I've looked. They would be perfect for me but nobody makes them. Goodyear Wrangler SRA comes up but those are terrible tires.

What tires did you decide to go with? I’m picking up my Limited with ORP today and am scouring these forums for recommendations. Thanks!

Hello how wide are your rims? Tia

Here ya go.

Hey, I was curious what width rims the 305s are on? Thank you

The stock 20's are 9" wide. I'm running 305/55r20 ridge grapplers on the stock 20's and there's about a 1/4" gap between the tire and the upper control arm. If you go with any wider of a rim I think it would push the sidewall of the tire into the upper control arm.

Falken Wildpeak AT3W. Have had 2 sets on 2 different trucks. They look great not loud and have a 55K tread life warranty. They are also a 10 ply tire.

Do you have the air ride suspension? Height won't be an issue with me since I have the ORP, but the width scares me a bit with the upper arm.

I know this is an old thread, but this is exactly what I’m looking to do. Do you happen to have a side shot looking at the truck?
