2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel New Tires and Wheels

[CaptainMax]

Hey Everyone,

I ordered a 2023 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel Laramie 4x4 Crew Cab Short Bed in October and have been starting to make a list of possible upgrades since the order.

Right now, I am looking at what the best tire and wheel combination would be. I ordered with the Night edition package, so the 22-Inch x 9.0-Inch wheels with the 285/45R22XL tires come stock. I have been looking at some pictures, and the 285s just don't seem to be enough tire for the 22-Inch wheels.

I understand the 2023s have not come out yet, but if anyone has experience with 2021, 2022, etc.

Couple Questions:

1. With stock leveling, can I equip the truck with 18-Inch wheels, or will they not clean the brakes/calipers?
1a. If 18-Inch works, what is the right tire size to go along without any modifications or rubbing?

2. With stock leveling, and if 18-Inch wheels will not fit, will 20-Inch wheels work?
2a. If 20-Inch works, what is the right tire size to go along without any modifications or rubbing?

3. With the 2.5-Inch level kit, can 18-Inch wheels work?
3a. If 18-Inch works, what is the right tire size to go along without any modifications or rubbing?

4. With the 2.5-Inch level kit, can 20-Inch wheels work?
4a. If 20-Inch works, what is the right tire size to go along without any modifications or rubbing?

I appreciate all your help!

Stock 18's will fit for sure. Lots of people go with Rebel wheels, which is what I did on my Limited. As far as aftermarket wheels go, from what I've read, most will fit. But some will not clear the calipers. I don't have a list of which aftermarket wheels do and do not work. Seems like someone posted a list a couple years ago, but I don't remember if it was here or on another forum website. I'd recommend Rebel wheels, but I'm partial to them. Especially the blackout version. If you find a set of aftermarket 18's you'll want to research whether they'll clear the calipers on a 5th gen.
