2019-2024 Ram 3500 Wheel, Tire & Suspension Fitment Guide

The fifth generation (2019-2024) of the Ram 3500 is the current one on the market today, and represents Ram’s ideal combination of capability, innovation and comfort. Larger touchscreens, 360-degree cameras and improved safety features like lane-keeping assistance and adaptive cruise control all keep the 3500 comfortable and up-to-date with Ram’s biggest competitors in the pickup truck market. The newest 3500 also received improvements in its overall design targeted to improve it’s fuel efficiency, enhance towing capacity and reduce wind noise. The 3500 continued to feature the Cummins turbodiesel engine option, giving it a whopping 400 horsepower and 1000 lb-ft of torque.

This version of the 3500 definitely represents a strong blend of technology, durability and power, making it an ideal choice for a variety of buyers, including work-focused and life-style based buyers. But here we’re more interested in the 3500’s ability as an off-roader, and it oozes potential in that area. Ram’s commitment to making the 3500 powerful yet comfortable makes it an excellent choice for someone looking to start a custom build made to handle trails and paths featuring difficult terrain. Take a look at this fitment guide for excellent suggestions in how to equip your 3500 for just this purpose, as well as examples from our extensive gallery to show you how the right tires, wheels and suspension will look on your truck.

A few different sizing options for wheels and tires exist for the newest 3500 model, most common are the 275/70 and 285/60 for tires and 18x8 and 20x8 for wheels, but the 3500 also comes available in a 235/80 with a 17x6 option as well. The bolt pattern used is a 8x6.5, which is critical to keep in mind when choosing a set of wheels, because you’ll want to make sure that any wheel you have in mind for your build fits that same pattern, otherwise you’ll have to make sure you have an adapter in order to get a proper fit.

So now when you’re wondering what wheels and tires to put on your 3500 build, you’ll notice a common theme when looking at our gallery. The 3500 is a big truck, so we see a lot of big tires and big wheels. Tire sizes between 35-37 inches are very popular options for this model, and many are paired with wheels anywhere between 18-20 inches in diameter, though not much bigger than 20” for the sake of real off-roading performance. In terms of lifts, we see a lot of leveling kits or suspension lifts between 3-5 inches in height to maximize ground clearance for the truck. An important reminder for suspensions is to always keep your suspension geometry in mind. If your suspension isn’t in proper balance, you can cause massive damage to your rig.
