I have a 2020 ram 1500 with a 3.5in RC Lift. What is the biggest size tire can I run on stock 20in rims with no rubbing or trimming?

Add a picture so we can see what factory wheels you have. You’ll easily clear a 35” but the width is going to be the variable

Here are a couple pictures of the factory wheels and the lift that was installed. Stock tire size is 275/55R20.

Are you just looking to go with the stuffed tire look? I ask because you are asking to fit the biggest tire? A 37” tire will fit as many have proved so I’m just trying to narrow down. My guy is telling me that you’re looking for a 295/65

I’m looking to go up in size to fill the space. I hate the size of the stock tires since I got the lift. Was thinking a 285/65 or the 275/65 will they fit?

I hate the stuffed look , , , 295/60R20 would be a great size tire with lots of options out there

I have a 5" RC lift with 35x12.5 on stock wheels with 1/2" spacers and still get rubbing on the fender liners in certain situations.

You might consider a 35x11.5 over a 12.5. It'll reduce rubbing and actually give you better mpgs.

Hey all, I need to ask cause I am trying to hunt down my Michelin LTX AT2's......found some but they are in a 275 60/r20 ....as apposed to 275 55/r20. Do I understand tire sizing to mean the 60 would be approx. 1.5" taller then the 55's , and would this be an issue with fittment on my OEM 2020 ram 1500 bighorn. Thanks guys!!!! appreciate your tire expertise....Gary
