On my last Ram (2004 Quad Cab Hemi) I put 295/50 - 20 on the factory rims and they looked too small. I believe a 55 would fit the wheel well better. According to the Discount Tire guy, a 305/50 will fit but it wears out quicker due to the rim NOT being 10" wide.

285/50 will be rubber bands. Too small of a sidewall.
The stock size is 275/60/20, which is 33" tall. The 285/50's are only 31.25" tall. Even the 305/50's are only 32.25" tall. The 285/55's will be less than 32.5" tall
and the 275/55's you have now aren't even 32" tall
