I ended up going with new 17" pro comp rims and some 32" bf goodrich t/a tires which gets close enough that I don't think my transmission will need new gearing. i will post pictures when i get them installed.

305's will fit without rubbing. They look more aggresive, and fill the gap a little better than the 275's.

I've got the Cooper Discoverer H/T Plus's and absolutely love them. They haven't let me down in the traction department yet and appear to be wearing well.

This is a little off subject and I'm sorry, but I have a few questions regarding the Interco TSL / Thornbirds.

I like the look of the tires and I'm thinking about putting the 31x11.00-15's on my truck. Basically, I don't want to have to do any modifications to the wheel well or put a lift on my truck and I believe these will fit without any problems.

I'm wondering if anyone has put these on there Ram and can provide any input they may have. I do plan on taking my truck muding if/when I put these new tires on. Thanks,

15's wont fit on the new style ram, smallest you can go is 17 due to large disk brakes.

Hey BRH, your truck looks great. I almost went with 20s and Nittos, but when I realized I'm a poor sap I ended up with AR 17" wheels with Nitto 33" Tera Graplers. When they arrive I'll post a pic. By the way, has anyone used their torsion bars to add an inch or so to the front?

So running a 305 on the stock 20" rim will NOT cause any rubbing issues? Curious cause I need a set of tires and am shopping around.

Unless you want to deal with transmission issues (speedo and gearing changes) and voiding your warranty, I wouldn't go under or over 33" OD tires if your truck came with 20s. Sell the 20s and pickup some nice 17s and some offroad tires like others have said. See the link below for pics of my truck before and after. I had the same situation: hemi/qc/4x4/20s.
