Sorry for the newbie questions on a 1500 Big Horn (2017) without air suspension. I sold my 2016 Ram Rebel in which I ran 315/70/17's and no issues with rubbing. Hate the 20" rims on the new bighorn. Can I run 17" rims on new bighorn instead of the factory 20's? I think all the speed sensors and abs look at overall RPM's, so rim size shouldn't matter as long as the overall tire diameter is similar to what the 275/60/20"s (33") and what size tire I run on the 17" rims.

Plan on doing the Bilstein 5100's as well. Rebel was a fun truck. Will miss it but had an offer I couldn't refuse on it.

If I can't run 17" rims on the bigorn and have to stick with 20's, what is the most popular size a little over stock with the 5100's set at 2.1"? I've seen 275, 295.
Thanks
Todd

in a 20" the 275-65 R20 work well. About an inch taller than stock but you can go to a load range E with that size if you tow or haul a lot.

285/65/20 would look good at 2.1, I am running that size and I am at 2.8 on the bils and a 1" spacer in the rear.

I just purchased a set of the " Rebel wheels and I'll be using 265/70 as opposed to my current 20" wheel of 275/60. Of course these will strictly be my winter wheels .56cb8eae3f1f786ece8565d20c62648a.jpg
