REBEL Wheels on a 19 BIGHORN

Recently picked up a 19 Bighorn Crew. Upgraded with some Rebel Wheels and Duratracs from someone who modded their Rebel. Thought others might like to see the difference a little more rubber makes :)

Literally night and day, love your 2nd photo with both sets on, really shows you how much wheels/tires can do to the looks of a truck.

That looks awesome! Any idea if the Rebel wheels would rub on a 2wd Bighorn with factory suspension?

Not sure, but I think 2wd and 4wd without the Rebel package are pretty much the same height. You can always try and if not do a leveling kit. I have zero rubbing and extra room. In fact, this truck seems to dwarf wheels and tires. On my last truck (Toyota Tacoma) these tires would have looked huge. But I can see how even 35" tires might look small.

How far off did this put your speedometer?
The stock tires that come on the Bighorn are 275 / 65 R 18 the rebel Tires are 275 / 70 R 18 so at 50 MPH your actual speed would be 51.69 MPH. :unsure:

I tried to get the dealership to reprogram my speedo to compensate for the difference but they claim that they are not able to modify that anymore; FCA has locked the tires/wheels with the VIN and you would have to contact FCA to have them alter your build. :rolleyes: IMG_1813.JPG

That looks really good.

I'm getting a set of rebel wheels put on my bighorn. I'm thinking I'm just going to leave the speedometer as is and have it be off a few mph instead of going the rough country speedometer calibration route.

That is the route I took.

The guy I bought my wheels and tires from had lifted his truck so I ended up with the factory Bilstein struts and shocks from the rebel also. The struts lifted the front of my truck about an inch and didn’t change the ride quality at all. I also didn’t do anything to recalibrate the speedo, it isn’t far enough off to really notice 9CD7F34A-5BBB-4E07-ACC2-D3CC1C89BB05.jpeg

Great lookin truck Tex! Just mounted some Rebel wheel/tires on my Bighorn. Love em. Except we can't get the tpms's to link up. Gonna have to break down my factory wheels & scavenge those out. Whatever I gotta do, I guess.

Glad to have found this thread.

Here's mine on a 2020 Sport (Canada) with newly installed Ram OEM Offroad Flares.

What PSI are you guys running? I have a feeling mine are too low at 50 at the front and 46 out back.

The dealership put mine at door sticker psi (38psi) - I got home & put 48 on all 4. Will adjust accordingly.
