Wheels to fit a lowered ram

[John Joseph]

My next set of tires will definitely be white lettering or I won't buy them! Went back to them on my Jeep because they were the rage when we were young and are coming back in style.View attachment 196607

I like the black better actually

I just traded my 2wd for a 4x4, it’ll be the 1st 4x4 that I’ve owned and plan to drop it ASAP
I was a bit concerned that the 4x4 drop may be a little high in the front compared to my past 2wd trucks
Thanks for posting the picture, that looks perfect to me
One question- spring drop only in the front?

2” front 4” rear

I’ll let you know the height and clearance when I check next time

I honestly think you should stick with the 33’s. If you want more of an aggressive street look you could do different 33’s with more of an AT tread like @dracman has. I seriously doubt 35’s will fit a 2” front drop as most guys need to level up 2” to get 35’s to fit without rubbing.

Maybe on the back
IMO they’d be too tall for the front
My 32” tires on stock 20’***** the plastic liners- enough to wear thru on the top
Correct me if I’m wrong- you’re sitting about 35.375 high?

Just measured it’s 34-1/2”

Supposed to be 2” drop in front but does not seem that much.

4” in rear with air lift in coil bags for Dakota works perfect (BTW with 5-10psi in rear is enhanced ride and no bottoming out)

- I’ve hauled my Harley rocker 750lbs or a full dress goldwing 1,000lbs 30-35psi rides real good despite the top heavy weight almost unnoticeable but for lighter front end

I may take your sound advice. Was thinking buying one used 295/65r20 tire to see what it looks like and to check clearances before I do anything

Sorry I didn’t word it very well, I was referring to the height of the tires, however that is great info as I can check it against my stock height Ram now, Thanks

 

[John Joseph]

As far as I know the tires are 33” and 34-1/2” to fender on center 1-1/2” clearance tire to metal.
Tread is inboard about 1/4” of metal and wall of tire is just about flush with body

I think you’re pretty close to a 2” drop in the front
Just checked my stock 4x4 front measurement
My tires are 32” tall- 1/2” lower than stock, and I’m 36” to the bottom of the fender
So based on that, a stock height/tire 4x4 should be sitting at 36 1/2”
You’re sitting at 34 1/2”
Looks like 2” to me....

I did a test with 295/75R20 and spear to fit.

How does it turn?

I took a video but can upload. It clears barely. Road around for a bit no apparent issues. Not sure how it will be with hard bump.

Do you like the look? I’m trying to imagine a more aggressive sidewall... should look better

I put a 295/65r20 on as a test and went from 34-1/2” to 35-3/4” about 1-1/4 inch in height.

I like look because it fills the wheel wells more like nascar meaty rubber. I agree lower profile would look better but Cannot do that with 22” low profile because rims are wider for 35” diameter. This will only work with 8” wide rims.
