Stock suspension and wheels with 285-75-18's

[dslbrnr]

Anyone running this combo?
From what I've read, some run 35-12.5's on stock rims with little rub.
It actually rides pretty decent with the stock Bilstein's but eventually i'm considering a Carli or Thuren level.

I ran 325/65/18s with stock wheels and no rub before lifting. Tires measured 34.5 tall and 12.8 wide

Thanks, truck looks great.
I shouldn't have an issue with the 285-75's being the same height as yours but narrower.
Did you notice much difference running the taller tire versus stock?
Are you planning on a level or happy with stock suspension?

I didn’t notice any difference after installing the 325s... just speedo a little off

Current setup is Bilstein coils and 37” toyos. Pretty significant loss in power now but I love the way it looks.
For what it’s worth I tried the 37s before the lift and they didn’t rub much at all. Minor plastic trimming and good to go.

Thanks again for the info and pics.
I've been checking out that Bilstein Level kit with shocks, looks good.

I'm planning to run that size when my truck comes in. From what I've read, the reports are that it should fit on the stock rims with no rubbing.

Cool, I ran that size "Nitto Terra Grapplers" on my 2008 Ram 2500 Mega Cab with stock rims but It had Kore level kit. The tires fit the stock rims great and rode nice.
Can't wait to see your pic's.

I have a 2020 RAM 2500 4x4. Still running stock 275/75/18s. I want to replace with taller/wider tires. Probably also rims . . . considering 20 " rims. Fully expect to need a levelling kit. Any suggestions on height of leveling kit and type?

 

[dslbrnr]

Big Red, seems like you want at least 12.50 X 35" tires. For the money the Bilstein 2" level kit with shocks is a bargain. A few guys here run the Bilstein kit with no complaints.

If money isn't an object the Thuren or Carli kits are supposed to ride a little smoother.

 

[Big Red]

Yes i do want the larger tires. Thanks for the info!

Running 285/75R18's all stock. No rubbing or anything, the truck makes them look kinda small.

 

[dslbrnr]

Looks great, I like running stock wheels so that's the route I'll go. What tires are those and do they measure 35" tall?
Thanks

 

[g00fy]

They're Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires and according to tire rack they're 34.8" tall and happened to be the closest I could find to a true 35" tall tire. I did not measure them myself.

Hi guys. Looking into the 285 75 18. Anyone have a side view pic? Just wanting to see what they look like with stock offset.
I have a 2021 Cummins and was wondering if the is significant power loss? Thank you.

 

[boatdude1]

No power loss at all on my 2021.

Your tire size change assuming stock 275/70R18 is equivalent to a gear change from 3.73 to 3.55

4th gen CDT had 3.42 gears.

Since @g00fy posted a side on pic of stock wheels, I’m assuming you’re asking for a straight down the side pic from the front/back. I can’t help you with that, but the 285s are only 10mm wider at the sidewall than the 275s (that’s ~3/8”) so just a little wider rubber on a stock wheel.

Hello, new to the forums. How do you like your 285 75 18? Any significant power loss for the Cummins?
