Good evening Its time for new tires I have a 2014 black edition express pretty sure those wheels are 20x8. has anyone put 33x12.5 on them ? what is the widest I can go on those wheels. truck has the bill stein level maxed and also have the bushwhacker pocket flares so trying to fill the void. not opposed to using spacers also. any help would be great got a good deal on tires just want to order the right size.

With those flares I would run 1.5" spacers unless you like the tucked look on your wheels.

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm not going to need tires for awhile, but next time I do I might consider a 35X12.5 tire. I have the exact same wheels as you - 2014 Black Ram Express Group 20X8. An internet search shows a lot of Jeep guys run 12.5" wide tires on their 8" wide wheels, but the tire manufactures don't recommend anything less than an 8.5" wide wheel for their 12.5" tires.

I have a 2017 1500 Express Black Group Package as well. I’m keeping the rims and looking to replace the tires with Nitto nt420s and would like to go with the 305/50/20. Anyone know if these will fit with all stock suspension? Any pix???

I put 33x12.50x20's on my customers trucks pretty regularly. The stock 275/60/20's are just a smidge under 33" tall. A 275mm wide tire is 10.82" wide at the contact patch so another inch per side is not a huge step.

@RLT1, I have run the 305/50/20's on my trucks and plenty of my customers and they fit nicely and look great too.

Here's mine with 305/50/20 on my summer wheels. To me they look just a little short on these trucks. I just ordered a set of toyo rt's in 285/60/20, to put on these wheels before they go back on in the spring

Been running 35-12.50's on wranglers for years on 8 " wheels without an issue . I prefer a 8 as I can run lower air and still wear perfect. Rotate tires as you should any other size. As long as you have upper control arm clearance your fine.
