Need to pick the brain of some of the truck guys. Soon I'll be buying new wheels and tires for the Ram and I'm putting some thought into wheel size. The truck came with 18" wheels and when it was time to replace tires I got a really good deal on some Longhorn 20" wheels with take off rubber. Been riding those for 60k and it's almost time to change. I like the wheels but they rub at full lock turning so I'm going to change offset. The truck is going to get leveled not lifted. So...
What goes into the choice of wheel diameter? The truck is a daily driver and tows my boat. Not much use in the way of off-roading. I have heard that the larger the wheel the rougher the ride but I haven't really noticed that with the 20's I have. I'm going to go to 35's, currently has 33's. I know this is going to alter the gear ratios and I'll lose some mpg. What say you about making the diameter call for the wheels?
