I have been eye balling a 2017 2500 6.4 Laramie with the sport appearance group package on it...the window sticker calls out 20x8 wheels (they are black).
On the 1500's, the Sport/Nigh edition trucks call out 20x8 wheels on the window sticker but they are actually 20x9, confirmed by looking at the markings at the back of one of the wheels Can anyone confirm what size the OEM 2500 with Sport appearance package wheels are?

Really hoping they are 20x9 and not 20x8...

Crap, thx guys. All the local tire shops I have talked with won't mount a x12.5 tire in a 20x8 wheel which means I would need new rims to run that width.

You could run a 295/65/20, that's what I'll be installing.

I don't see anything close in size in metric sizes that say will fit a x8 wheel. Closest I see is 295x65x20 which are only 11.6 wide...to narrow for me.

Check this out https://youtu.be/4FRu6jZUEMQ
Many have successfully put on 12.5 tires on a 8" rim with zero problems.

Totally agree that lots do it and it's fine and I would be fine with it, finding someone to do the mount and balance in my area is the issue, no-one will do it that I have talked to.

As Jake2544 said, just use 295/65/20 tires, they fit perfectly and won't rub as it's only an 11.5" wide tire.
