Picking up my new truck soon, and trying to figure out what tires and wheels I want to go with. It's a black crew cab, 5'7" bed, off road package, 3.92 gears, 33gal tank, on stock 18's. I don't really want to lift it, except maybe a 1" level up front. And I would like to keep 18's but I'm not opposed to going to 20's. There's a set of stock chrome clad 20's for sale locally for 600 I thought would look pretty good. But anyhow, what size tires/wheels would you recommend? I would really like white letter tires if I stay with 18's.. I'm old school.... Lol

Thanks guys! Post pics of similar setups. I've looked but can't find much.

Stick with the 18s and go with 275/70. Most of the tires in that size are load range E, so they'll be a bit heavier and ride a bit stiffer.

If you go with the Ram 20" wheels be aware that they are 9" wide, so a wider tire looks a bit better on them. I went with 295/55

Ya, I'm really looking for some Laramie polished 20's.... And I'll go with whatever tire size I feel for the look I want. The problem with the 18's, is that the 275/70's just aren't enough bigger than the stock 275/65's that come on the truck. I'd probably go with a 285 or 295... I like the chunky look.
