Default New dodge ram owner seeking advice.

I have a 2010 dodge ram 1500, and it has the stock 20 inch rims on it and stock tires (275/60/r20) Im going to buy some new pro comp rims also going to be 20 inches. I have put a leveling kit on it and that is it. I would like to know how big of tires i can put on it without rubbing or breaking anything. i do a lot of highway driving but i would still like to maybe have some bigger tires. maybe 33s? any advice would be appreciated

No, nothing will break unless your taking jumps or doing hardcore offroading, which would be expected. With those tires though things will wear faster than normal, so be ready to change tie rod ends, ball joints and wheel bearings earlier than usual.

It will "break" your speedo, nothing a tuner cannot fix.

Careful with your wheel offset as well if you plan on going with a wider tire.
