Anyone running a 295/65/20 on stock suspension?

Thanks. I’m looking Yoko Geolander M/T. Also considering 35x11.5x20.
 
Was looking at 0 offset (4.75” backspacing) on method double standards. Anyone have issues stock?
 
I’ve seen on other threads 295/60/20 with factory air ride doesnt rub at all… maybe the difference in rubbing is in the aspect ratio, as I’m hearing 295/65/20s do have slight rubbing?

Was thinking of swapping the stocks for some Toyos.
 
I like the 295/60/20s.. Looking at new tires at some point for my 2022 Ram 2500 Laramie with stock suspension /nolift or level as I don't want the sag in the rear when towing.. I also like the idea of 1 inch spacers as it should take care of any rubbing issues and plus it is a slightly wider stance which I like better with the bigger tire anyway. Does anyone know of any performance impacts to using a one inch spacer? Thanks in advance!! We tow a trailer which is why we have the truck.
 
I just installed 295/65-20 BFG KO3 on a stock 2026 Limited and the drivers tire rubs the radius arm pretty bad. Going try wheel spacers.

Update: 2" wheel spacers moved the problem to the fender wells. Furthermore, squat on the front when the plow is attached makes operation completely impossible without a level/lift.

I'm hearing the offset matters more than the lift- that from 2 after market suspension shops that work on these trucks. We want a +6 to a +27 offset....so I was looking at wheels with those specs. The problem with the many comments here is they don't list their wheel offset....and my Ram wheels are not marked with an offset leaving me guessing. If anyone knows the offset on these Ram wheels, please let me know.

I don't know what size spacer gets you in that 6-27 range

1" is 25.4 MM so that should get you what you are looking for. I went with a +18 wheel with 295/65/20 and it rubbed pretty hard on the plastic trim just inside the front wheel well. Installed a 2" level because it would have been inoperable with the snowplow hanging off the front.

A 1” spacer won’t work on our trucks safely.

I don't personally run wheel spacers but all of the guys on here that do would beg to differ.

No they wouldn’t unless they cut their studs down, it simply won’t work due to stud length. You have to run a minimum of about 1-3/4” spacer and have windows on the mounting surface of the wheels for the studs to protrude into.

D'oh. I thought you meant spacers in general.
