Upgrade from factory rims and tires (Sport Package)

[ericmartin66]

I have the Sport package rims and tires (22x9 with 285/45R22). I have 3.21 gears with anti-spin rear differential. I want to change the rims and replace the tires with slightly bigger ones, more aggressive looking. Not taking offroad, but I do tow a 17' boat. I know I will need a leveling kit upfront, but should I get 22" or 20" rims? I will more than likely get Falkens since I have them on my Jeep now. 33"-34" size. Not interested in changing gears either. Also, what offset should the rims be? Opinions?

You can do 275/60/20 tires which are 1 inch taller than the factory tires without any rubbing at all and no leveling kit needed. Anything above that you might need a leveling kit at least. I have plus one offset on my truck which is also a Laramie sport and it brings the tires right out to the edge of the fender wells. I have stock suspension, non-air.

off topic, are you interested in selling the stock 22's? PM me if you are.

Did the larger circumference affect you speedo/odometer at all? Or did you have to adjust the program?

Any interest in doing an 18” wheel/ tire combo ?

If you're intrested im selling a set of 20 inch rims off a bighorn. They had about 20k on the tires when taken off, but the rims are in perfect shape, so scuffs or scrapes.

yes the speedometer was off about 2 1/2 mph at 70. I fixed it with a Taser DT

The reason being is I’ve known folks who have gone with an 18” wheel combo since it gave them more sidewall, cheaper tires, and didn’t have them worrying about curbing an inexpensive wheel. Plus they use oem wheels so there was exact fitment.

I will when I upgrade.

No thank you. I already know which rims I want.

Just as an FYI: I don't think the Sport Appearance Package comes with 22" wheels. I have a 2020 Laramie 5.7L Crew Cab 4x4 with the package; my window sticker says it includes the 20" x 9" Premium Painted Wheels w/Inserts - which is what my truck has. Unless: the package changes with the longer bed as I have the short bed. I'm not trying to deny you have 22" wheels, but when you stated they are a part of your Sport Package it caught me eye...curious.

My 2019 Laramie sport. 22” wheels. Which by the way are for sale. I just replaced them with 20x9 Fuel Vapors

The smaller the wheel the more aggressive your tires are going to look. If you don't like the look of 18's then I'd say go with 20's. You'll have a more comfortable ride, and it'll be easier on your wallet. Looks like the 22's have an OEM offset of +19 (hub is 19mm toward the fender from center) so if you want to push your tires out a bit go with an offset closer to 0. 1 inch = ~25mm so use that math to figure out what you want combined with the width difference from old to new tires.

Where about in VA are you located? I am in Winston Salem NC and come to VA all the time. Just wondering how close you are?

275/60/20 (~33x11) is pretty much the biggest you can go maintaining a 4 ply tire. Not sure if going 10 ply matters to you, but just a thought. It’s about an inch taller than stock and you don’t need a leveling kit for it. Here’s my truck with 275/60/20 Falken Wildpeaks, a 1/2” spacer up front (not necessary), and 20x9 +1 Fuel Rebels:
