Wheels & Tires on 1500

[Barreira]

Hey guys I am new here and I need an opinion
I have the 20” oem rims and I want to go the big as I can in tires but only using the leveling kit, I don’t want to lift for now.
What you guys recommend?
Stay in the 20” or go down to 18” I want to use an off road tire and style.
Do you guys think it’s possible to use 35”? And which off set should I use
Thank you guys

Stay in the 20” or go down to 18” I want to use an off road tire and style.

Personal preference but I would go 18, especially for an off-road set up.

Do you guys think it’s possible to use 35”?

With a level yes.

And which off set should I use

Depends how wide of a wheel tire you use, and the look you're trying to achieve.

18's all the way, especially if desiring to do any 4 wheeling.
Why RAM or anyone goes with the big rims and low profile tire on a truck is simply amazing to me.

Thank you guys I am going with the 18”
Any recommendations on off set
For 34 or 35” tires thinking in the ko3 but I accept suggestions

My original setup, leveled with 18’s and 35”, had a slight rub on uca’s full lock in reverse.
I didn’t have the right offset/back spacing, ended up getting wheel spacers to fix.
Current setup 17’s and 35’s with the right offset for my truck anyway, no need for the spacers.
I have been very happy with my Mickey Thompson tires so far, the Nittos weren’t bad but seemed to loose traction after about 25k

The more offset you have to use to get clearance, or looks, the shorter the life of your front end and running gear. The further out the tires are the more leverage applied. Just levelling the PU will cause mileage to drop. In addition, even if you adjust the speedo, mileage will drop due to taller tire/wider tire creating more rolling resistance. As long as you are prepared for those outcomes, then 35" will fit on 18" rims with a levelling kit. Using stock offsets you should only get a small amount of rub at the most extreme angles and turns, at least on the models up to 2025.

I don't know if they changed geometry with the Hurricane motor, so have the tire/wheel shop test fit your new shoes. You may have to change offsets with the 2026 models..

According to LouM, I guess mine's "amazing" then? lol
Raised looks good, but ain't nutt'n sexier than a lowered RCSB imo either.
These are 22" btw.

I'm glad that you like your truck.
I don't see the desire for such a vehicle, while I can appreciate the work that went into it I have no desire to own or even ride in such a vehicle.
I also don't see the desire for the monster truck lifts and tractor tires on a street driven truck.
A truck on low profile tires is a paradox, low profile tires aid in traction and handling on super smooth paved surfaces. Not many of those around.

lol, you and my wife share the same sentiment, she hates my truck because it's no longer a real truck.
Some days, I wished I had a real truck Lou. haha
