Smile Tires size for a 2.5" lift

Hi
I have a 2012 Ram 1500 4x4 (5.7L) I am planning to install a 2.5" lift kit.
the current tires on the OEM rims are 275 / 60 / 20.
What are the largest tires (diameter) i can put on the OEM rims with a 2.5" lift?

Thank you for your help.

Eric

I have just put lt285 65 r20 bf goodrich all terrain ko2 they give 35'' diameter by 11.2 inch they look good very minor rubbing when fully turned .
if you want a more agressive look 35x12.5 would look better but factory wheel may need spacer's witch is not recommanded . You whould be better with a diffrent rims with a diffrent offset

Default Thank you

Thank you Badjojo13 for your recommendation. I would like to stay with the OEM rim. They look nice and i don't have to spend extra money.
I just looked at the BF Goodrich tire and they would look good.
I also looked at the Dick CEPEK Fun Country they might look good too.
Anyway, thank you.
If / when you get a chance do you mind taking a picture of your truck so i have an idea of the look - you don't have to if you can't.
Thanks again.

Cheers

you should be safe up to a 295-65-20.. this will give you a 35" tire but only 11.61 wide.. so it won't rub on the A-arm..
