I have a 2023 on order with the 18x8 wheels and my existing 2021 has the 20x9 wheels - I have asked the dealer to swap these out when the new truck arrives to keep my existing tire/wheel combo and put the new ones on my trade-in. The dealer said no problem as long as they are compatible - is there any reason this won't work? I am assuming it is just a simple tire change as both will fit and have 6 lug nuts etc correct?

Yes, the bolt pattern is the same.

Looks like the 20" tires are .2" smaller in diameter sonthe speedo will be slighty off. Anyone know if this will require speedo recalibration to keep the odometer accurate?

New tires sometimes have over an inch of tread on the diameter, and even in the same size from the same mfr, hiway vs AT tread would have a greater difference than .2"?

I installed a set of 275/60/20 cooper discoverer at3 4s on my 2019 bighorn, stock height, stock wheels. It will rub at absolute full turn. Just barely but enough to hear it for sure.
Did you end up keeping the tires or downsize to the 275/55?

Bought a set back in March and have about 5,000 miles on them. So far I've been happy with them and looking forward to testing them out in snow this winter.

Does it seem like they offer anymore protection to the rim than the stock tires ?

I have the 285/55/22’s and they do seem to offer a bit of protection. Bigger sidewall helps and I think there a bit wider than the stock 285/45/22. A 305/45/22’s would probably be better yet for curb rash, wheel protection, etc.

Hi guys- running stock 20 X 9 wheels with 1.3” front lift (Bilstein 5100’s), stock rear suspension. Non-off-road package.

Considering either 305/50-20 Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme at 46 lbs / 32” diameter, or 285/60-20 Michelin Defender LTX M/S at 54 lbs / 33.7” diameter.

Anybody have experience with fitment of either of these two sizes with my wheels and suspension setup (or with stock ride height)?

I see from the very first post that what I'm about to ask MIGHT work as I'm concerned about caliper clearance. I see in my local area someone as 18" OEM for sale, I'm interested in these for my 2023 Limited for tires for camping, currently running 22" wheels. I don't have a travel trailer yet but thinking already about things I want to have in place. All I see is that these came off of a 2021 Ram 1500, will these fix my limited? Sorry if that sounds stupid but I'm unsure if the different packages RAM offers changes anything like rotor\caliper sizes.

Well I came here hoping that this would answer my question, but there is no info in the original post.
2023 RAM 1500 Sport w/ 20" rims. Dueler 275/55/20 stock
What's the max size I can throw on these rims without issue? 285/60/20?
