Hey guys, I'm new to the truck scene. I just bought a 2014 ram crew cab a couple weeks ago and want big wheels and tires. I'm sure it's been asked alot but don't have the time to look through it right now, so my question is can i fit 20x12 with a 305/50/20 "33.2" with a leveling kit with put major rubbing or cutting. The shop recommended I use a 4 " lift but all the ones I'm finding are 1400 and don't have that extra cash. The shop pointed out a rough country 3.75" lift but that's only for 09-12. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If you say you can't take the time to search a topic that has been covered a million times, why should anyone take the time to answer your question? Google is your friend. Anyway, aren't those almost the same as stock? Just a little wider? At least on my 2010. A 2" leveling kit and you should be able to fit 35's.

I don't have the time because I'm at work and was hoping for a quick response if someone had done this before. Yes I have used Google but haven't had luck, that's why I'm asking on here. I'm not sure about size, never bought big tires or lifts before, all new to me.

2.5", 35x12.50x18 here. 0 offset.

****loads of rubbing on the driver's side. My advice, save your money for a 4"!

i have the bilsteins at 2.1, I am running a 325 65r18 (roughly 35x13) on wheels with a -12 offset. I had some minor rubbing turning to the left on the backside of the wheel well liner. A lil time with the heat gun and remolded it to good as new. Its all in the offset.

Thanks for the info, the wheels I want have a -44 offset. I don't mind some rubbing and spending some time to make it work, just don't want to buy wheels and tires and not be able to drive it. That's why I was wondering if I could get away with just a leveling kit.

20" X 12" w/-44 ? Get ready to paint the sides of your new Ram in a year or two with that SoCal stance.

Stock 20x8 wheels and 295/60r20s with only minor rubbing. Haven't had a chance to get under the truck to see / fix the issue. My Nittos are a little taller & wider (according to their site) than normal 295/60s at 34.45"x12.36."

I don't think you will be able to fit that combo because of wheel width. If you go with a 9 or 10 inch wide wheel you should be fine.
