New member here & love all of the information!

I have a 2019 Laramie with air suspension & 22" wheels and I would like to install Rebel wheels and tires for the off road look. I have read multiple posts and it doesn't seem clear; maybe I'm missing something.
Is this a direct swap? Will the 18" wheel fit on my rotors? If so, is there a way to reprogram the air suspension with the Rebel settings? Can the speedometer be calibrated for the new tire diameter? Will any of this void my warranty?

Thank you in advance!

Straight swap. No issues. I wouldn’t personally worry about recalibrating the speedo but that is your choice. You can buy a speedo tool from Rough Country. There are also others. No worries on voiding the warranty.

If you’re not set on the rebel wheels, I have the Laramie 20” with 275 60 20 falken wildpeak at3w all terrain tires I’m looking to trade. Also in Michigan.

Just a heads up. I swapped my 20s for the rebel wheels and tires. Everything fits nicely. However, it rode terribly and steering was very vague at the recommended pressure of the original set. It took me a while to figure out the rebels recommend 55f,45r psi. Everything is great now.

Where are you located? There may be a member close by that can give you a deal on Rebel wheels and tires.

The rebel tire is taller, 275 70 18. The direct replacement for a 285 45 22 is a 275 65 18. This 18in size is found on the base Laramie. I guess they wanted to fill the Rebel wheel well up a bit more since it has a 1in lift.

I am in Michigan as well and looking to make the same type swap. Let me know how it goes for you. I have been hesitating.

Just got them installed last Tuesday...

Does anyone know I where I can swap ? I have the standard Laramie 20's with the falkens. I want to trade to the black wheels that come on the big horn. The chrome wheels are driving me crazy

^^^. I think if you post where you are it will make swapping a lot easier. :)

As popular as that area is, I’m sure it will be an easy deal for you.
