Default Tire fitment?

I've searched around, but can't figure out if the 275/65/20's I am thinking about will fit under my stock 06 3500... any insight?

Thanks for any input!

The tire will fit with no problem, but can you get a load range to match your truck's GVW? Make sure the rims are also rated for the weight.

Generally they are capable of supporting at least the manufacturers ratings. They wouldn't put 8 holes in a wheels and sell them for trucks if they couldn't handle it

if I recall correctly the stock rims are rated around 3700lbs each, finding an aftermarket rim within a couple hundred pounds of that has been tough! I've found a bunch I loved, but the weight ratings seem to hang around 3K ea for most rims...

Most of the E rated tires are around 3600 to 3800 lbs each...
