i have a 2012 ram 1500 sport i put 2.5 leveling kit in front and 1.5 in back, im running the xd spy 20's on LT295/55R20 E123/120Q nitto trail grapplers they call it a 32.91 .

i was wondering if either LT295/60R20 E126Q (34.47) or the LT295/65R20 E129/126Q (35.47) will work ? im pretty sure the 34.47 will but would be nice to get the 35.47 on just for the fact they have a higher losd rating . if you have any suggestions or ideas im all ears, thanks!

I think you'd have to go 2 more inches up. But that's just my 2 cents.

Someone will get with you

Can't go much more than. If the offset was lower than yes. Not sure why but that's what I've been told by numerous people.

As you stated below, you got a +18 offset
Which is a 20x8.5 based on their website.

That being said, you can run a 1/4" spacer and should be able to run the 295/65/20 without issues because you have a 8.5" wide rim.

I have even heard some ram owners (on another forum) run those exact same tires (295/65/20 Trails) on stock 8.5" wide wheels without spacers and not rub at all.

That being said, get the 1/4" wheel spacers, they are about $30 and have them there on standby.
But you should be ok running either of the above mentioned

FYI, since you are leveling, its not so much the height anymore, rather the width :)

You can run the 295/65R20. I ran that setup on stock wheels with a positive offset with a 2" level. I had only very minor rubbing on the sway bar at full lock (only time it rubbed was if I was trying to park).

Not anything to do with the tires but do you have any pics without a load in the bed of your truck? I want to see the rake of your truck with the 1.5" rear lift. I'm wanting to do the same to my truck..Thanks

I think Kevin only ran a 2" level in the front, no rear spacer.
