Okay. 2016 Tradesman came stock with 17in wheels. Swapped to 20s and 33in tires. Now they rub when i turn hard right or left. Is that normal?

What’s the tire dimensions? Factory is only 33x11.5 I think. Factory rims?

If they are factory rims then 33s should definitely not be rubbing unless you were maybe running 12.5" wide tires...then maybe you'll rub.

They shouldn't be rubbing, but my only guess is that the Tradesman came with "standard" ride height which might sit lower then say an Express, Big Horn, etc. :shrug:

I'm running 12.50 33's on stock 20's with no rubbing on a BigHorn. So I think Express is right. It's my first Ram so I'm still learning about these things too.

Running stock 275/70-18 (roughly 33.5") on my 2017 Tradesman 2500 6.4. Is yours a 2500 or 1500?

Most 1500s with the 20" wheel on the Express models like mine came with Raised Ride Height listed on the build sheet . That and the stock tires were 275 -60 -20 not 70s. 70 would be a taller tire the stock .
