For rubbing.....The Ram 20" wheels that come stock on the newer Rams such as yours are 20x9" and have a 5.75" backspacing. With that known, guys are running 305/55/20's with no rubbing issue's.

If you get 22's and stay with a width of 305 or less(i.e.295) and your overall height of your tire is under 35" tall.....You will be golden my friend.
HERE's a chart for referencing

295/45/22 tires are 11.6" wide and 32.4" tall
305/45/22 tiers are just about 33" tall
Both of those will fit as long as your backspacing is less than 5.75". Just remember, the less backspacing, the further out the fender the wheels will sit. If you want to keep a stock type look and not have a monster truck looking set of wheels that stick way out, get betwen a 5" and 5.5" backspacing.

As far as tires...what are you looking for?? How about THESE?
