So I was wondering if I could fit 33x12.50R20 (305/55R20) on a stock 2001 Ram 1500. What size of rims would I need. I don't want any rubbing. Thanks.

You would be rubbing with that tire size. did you mean what size of lift you would need? A level would still leave a little bit of rubbing i believe with how wide that wheel is.

With proper offset you should be able to run that size without rubbing, I have 305/70/16s(32.5x12.5x16) on stock rims and have minor rubbing at full lock. 4.5" backspace is what you want.

Sorry I left that part out. I was thinking of getting a 2.5 inch RCX levelling kit. On that note which is best the $100 one or the $200 one. And I was looking at Worx beast rims either 20x10 or 20x9.

I fit 285/75r16 (32.8x11.2x16) on stock with 16x8 and 0mm offset.

I put on the RC 2.5" in the front and left the rear stock and it looks but but full 33" or 34" would look perfect.

I'd be willing to bet you could fit the 33x12.5 on stock with new stock coils and a 9" wide rims with a decent amount of back space or -12+ mm offset rims

Yeah I was looking at the Worx beast black milled rims, they are 20x9 with 4.5 inch backspacing and -12 offset. I'd probably go with the full 2.5 inch RCX levelling kit. If I'm right there should be no rubbing with 33x12.5R20 rims.

+1 to 305/70/16s on stock wheels. I have a 3in level up front and they don't scrub unless the axle flexes. If I had just a little more offset, maybe half an inch, it wouldn't scrub at all.
