Default Wheels and Tires

Ok so I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic on a stock suspension and I've finally decided that I want wheels and tires for it. The only problem is i don't know what i can run without rubbing. Ive asked several tire places and they have all given me different answers. If somebody could help me out it would be greatly appreciated

For your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic with stock suspension, you can usually run 33” tires (like 285/70R17 or 275/60R20) without rubbing. If you want bigger tires, like 35”, you’ll likely need a small lift or leveling kit to avoid rubbing.

For wheels, sticking with stock offset or something close is best to avoid rubbing. If you go with a wider wheel or change the offset too much, it could cause rubbing even with smaller tires.

It's always good to double-check with someone who has the same truck setup to see what works for them.

For your 2019 Ram 1500 Classic on a stock suspension, the safest way to avoid rubbing is to stay close to stock tire size. Stock tires are usually around 265/70R17 or 275/60R20 (about 32 to 33 inches overall). You can generally go up to 33-inch tires (like 285/70R17 or 33x12.5R20) on wheels with a similar offset to stock without rubbing. Anything larger, like 35-inch tires, will almost certainly require a lift or leveling kit to clear the fenders and suspension. Make sure your aftermarket wheels have an offset close to stock to avoid clearance issues.
