Need some help and info.
I have a 2019 Ram with 275/55R20 , 6 lug rim, now I have a set of winter tires that are 265/70R17, 5 lug rim.
Are there 6 lug rim for the 265/70R17 tires?
The dealership said no and wanted to sell me a package of new tires.
Thanks.

(Un?)fortunately, they are not misleading you. 17” wheels (and, in fact, a pretty decent number of 18” ones too) do not fit over the brakes on our trucks.

As Jake mentioned it does seem 5th gens need at least an 18". Unless you have a 2019 classic (4th gen) rather than the new body style(5th).
