I have a 2017 RAM 2500 Big Horn with the off road pkg. Looking to upgrade from the stock wheels and tires 275/70/18 to a 295/55/20 or a 305/55/20 with Nitto Ridge Grappler and a Fuel wheel and will be installing a front leveling kit. Anyone had experience with these size tires on a 2500? Rubbing, mileage reduction, wobble, noise, ride/comfort, towing, handling, etc.???

You won't have any problems with those tires on a leveled 2500. You can do a 35X12.5 with no issues on stock backspacing.
I had to do a LITTLE trimming when I had some crazy ass stupid -44 offset XD Wheel. I traded them ganster wheels the next week for my Fuel wheels with 20mm offset. So much better and your wheel barrings will love you sticking with a stock backspace!

Looks great! Little wider than I am going with the 20x12. Gonna stay with a 20x10 Fuel Diesel and the Ridge Grapplers. Have the fender flares and the running boards on mine as well. Thinking it will have a great stance once complete.

20x10s still look good. I like the wider stance to each their own. As long as they aren't tucked or dead even with your fenders it'll look good. I guess I'm just too "gangster"

I went with the A/T Terra Grapplers for less road noise. No rubbing, no issues with towing the boat. Only issue is the freaking TPMS and running 70+psi with an empty bed. Rougher ride than a 2017 truck should be IMO.

Appreciate all the responses and pics. Helping make my decision easier. Want a more aggressive look without changing the ride height other than the lvl kit. Any other input and pics are welcomed. I will post pics of my finished product once complete.
