Wheel size, to increase or not to increase

jknappen · Apr 13, 2016

2013 1500 QC 4x4. Looking to change wheels from stockers maybe. Should I stick with a 20 that is currently on it or should I bump up to a 22? Don't off-road so i will not be doing any knobby M/T tires but I will go with an A/t tire. Would like close to same specs as stock such as offset and width go. And only doing a level on the truck with bills at 2.1 and possibly 3/4" spacer in the rear.

I actually decreased wheel size when I bought the 2014 CC. I had them swap my 18" KMC wheels from the old truck to the new truck, which had ugly lookin' 2's on it, so I could have more tire sidewall.

It's all a matter of opinion. It only matters what you like, not me or anyone else. But I usually tell people this. When trying to decide between two wheel sizes, tire size, lift sizes, etc. go with the larger. If you don't, odds are you will regret it later. My only regret on my Ram is not going with 22's. Buy once, cry once.

I prefer more sidewall but didn't want to go down in size so I stayed with 20's. If you like less sidewall, go with the 22's. If you like more, stay with the 20's or go 17's.

All depends on the look you want.

Yea i know its personal preference. I dont offroad and I like the 20s i think a 20 is perfect on a 1500. Not a big fan of 17 on a truck on a car its one thing but a truck unless you offroad and meed the extra 'padding'. It just don't look right imo. Just wanted some thoughts and opinions was all.

Not gonna lie, when I was putting mine on at the DIY shop the dude working there thought my 18's were 20's

I haven't bitten the bullet on a level but just going on looks, since you have a 2.5 front level I feel that 33" to 35" tires on your 20's look just right on that level height. If/when I do mine I'll probably stay with 33's because I don't feel safe in the winter with anything larger (I don't know the physics as to why but for some reason I've always found the larger you go, the less you "cut" through the snow)

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum and this is actually my first post.
I have an 2009 1500 Laramie and have made the following modifications:
2" levelling kit, wheel spacers (1.5" front/2" rear), 20" wheels from a 2014 Laramie Limited, just put on a set of Cooper Discoverer ATP tires (275/60/20)
Each of the mods took me weeks to make a decision on as I did not want to end up regretting anything.
I could not be happier with the overall results. The truck has a more aggressive appearance but is still easy to live with.
I'll post pictures soon, haven't had a chance to get new pics since I've had the tires installed (weather sucks right now)
