Default Will 305-50-20 Fit

When I bought the truck i just changed the wheels not the tires. So now that they are worn down after 45,000 miles I want to change them. I'm wondering if a 305-50-20 would fit on the stock 2007 dodge rim. I also am leveling it so ya! The tire I'm looking at is the cooper zeon LTZ 305-50-20

If you're raising the front to level it with the back, then they will fit even better. I have that size on stock 2003 wheels.

from what I know yes.... Thats the size I am going to use when I change my tires out...



from stock 275-60-20 to 305-50-20

Totals are in inches Tire 1 Tire 2 Difference
Sidewall Height: -.05
Section Width: 1.18
Overall Diameter: -.98
Circumference: -3.09
Revs per mile: 18.8

this is the difference... tire 2 has less side wall, it wider, less diameter, less circumference, more revs per mile

305/50 is too small in my opinion. I have them on mine. They look good if the back is lowered, but not a raised front.

I went with the 305's since they were the same diameter is the stock 275/55's (on mine) and were the widest thing you can really out on those wheels (otherwise I probably would've looked for a 315).
