Hey Guys. I have a bilstein leveled 2.1" '15 Ram 1500. I have stock 20x9 rims. I want the rugged A/T look, but not sure what tire and size i should go. Will the Nitto Ridge Grappler A/T 295/60/20 work ? It will not rub will it? Or am i better off just rolling with a 285/60/20? Thanks

You should be able to clear a 295/60/20 with that setup. The odd truck has a rubbing issue with them but it's not very common at all.

Ok I'm nervous, pulled the trigger on 35/12.50/20's and 1/4" spacers. The tires I ordered come in at 12.3" wide. Here's my clearance with my current tires that are 275/65/20. Gonna be close. I'm running mevotech UCA's as well.

LOL it might be my new home after the last couple of weeks worth of mods, still haven't told my wife I ordered the tires.....

The great part is there's room for two inside of these vehicles, just tell her it's a romantic getaway like when you were teens lol.

Yes this weekend I can. Plenty of room everywhere, it was super close on the upper control arms as I suspected is all.

^^^. Now THAT'S the money shot lol, that looks great. Can't wait for you to put some miles on it and read your thoughts about the set up.

This is gonna sound stupid but is there any way I could run 37 in tires on my ram WITHOUT having to buy a full blown lift kit, maybe a leveling+body? Just wondering how much lift I would get out of a combo like that if it was maxed ya know. I just bought a leveling kit 3.5" front & 1.25"rear & I wasn't sure how high I could go on the body lift without lifting it way too much & showing the frame not to mention if it's just gonna destroy my front end no matter what. Pretty much is it possible without completely screwing up my truck lol

I towed all day yesterday with it, hit the highway some and I'm impressed so far. I know new tires always ride great but these have impressed me so far. They hum a little but that was expected. I'll do a full write up at some point.
