Tire Questions

[ThatGuyJeffafa]

Good morning all, I'm not sure if this is the correct section to ask this since I'm new to the community, but currently I have 275/60r20s on my 2013 Ram 1500 and I already have a Hell Bent Steel Leveling Kit on the front. I'm trying to figure out what tires I can fit on the stock rim so that I can transition up to 35s. Any info would be greatly appreciated so that I can save up for new tires and buy them once I get to my next Duty Station. Thank ya'll in advance!

You can go to any tire shop and they can make suggestions. You can 35s on the stock rims if thats what your asking. If you want the exact tire measurements your only a short google away or a phone call to uour local tire shop

Currently, I'm Navy working at Officer Candidates School up here in Quantico, VA. I actually make contact with my detailer/monitor this evening to apply for orders out of this place. Trying my best to get out to Cali, Louisiana, Hawaii, or back overseas. Any are good as long as I can be in an operational status again.

And the tire shops around here are out for the money boss. The majority of the personel in this area are either boot officers or first tour Marines and Sailors that will spend whatever. But you did hit the nail on the head in regards to the 35s on stock rims. I'm trying to get inpputs from everything from a basic lift, tires, spacers and mods, because once I get where I'm going, I'm selling my bike and and sinking some money into le truck.

Haha, ya know, I've heard that, which is why I'm kind of iffy on getting stuck out on an island again. After I did my time in Japan, I should have learned my lesson, but I guess I'm hard headed. Plus there's a young lady at K-bay that wants me to come out there, but yeah....I'm good lol.

A lvl kit will guve you room for 35s. But if I where you. Go with a 3in body lift. That way if you want to go bigger you can go with a suspension lift and not have to remove a lvl kit cause some adjustable shocks will lvl it.

Well that's good to know haha. I have a Hell Bent Steel leveling kit on her already, so I guess I'll just shop around for some tires and possibly spacers and aftermarket bumper?

I still haven't found an aftermarket bumper I liked for the truck yet. I'm not into the mad max steel look lol. Spacers will make your stance look better but better off just getting a decent pair of wheels, they aren't that expesive you can get a descent set of rims for under 800 bucks. Like some procomps. I bought some 35 x 12.5 procomp tires and procomp rims for my Jeep jk for under 1500 bucks from 4wheelparts.

What size rim did you get with the tires though?
