So the shop by me, I’m in Nj, recommended a diff tire, a general grabber ATX. Said all the highway driving I do would destroy snow tires, said they use them on plow trucks and etc so I think that’s the route I’m going.

good to know. Those certainly meet the load rating and appear to be winter rated! Thanks!

Thought i might as well check craigslist and someone just posted these rims for $500 with tpms sensors 5 days ago. Looks like i will be trying this option. Load rating for the blizzak that is available and fits these rims sufficient (115) you think?
115 is fine. Some of the early 22s were listed as 115. A pair of 115 tires is still well over the axle rating for the truck, so nothing to worry about.

Pic of the ram wheels mounted to the car. A little bit of poke going on, but I like it.

What I didn't like is the impact to range. At least 10% impact vs the 21" I had (based on a 160 mile trip today). Totally expected of course

Any side view of these? Like to see how they look. Thanks!

Got a set of these ram 1500 wheels. Spent a few hours cleaning, sanding, and spray painting these!

First time so def not perfect, but good enough for a cheap set of winter wheels.
these look great! what did you use to paint them?

Close! This is a different bolt pattern, we need 5x139.7 (5x5.5).
Thanks, yeah thinking about it more the spoke thickness is a hard to predict concern even though the seller claims it is the correct bolt pattern (maybe only the other bolt pattern is listed in that link i referenced, but the rim style is available in both).

I ended up going with this set up...

https://www.detroitwheelandtire.com...ck-wtanm-a-2363-bbb-satin-a-fal-at3w-new.html

15% off right now and comes fully mounted and balanced with TPMS and already in black so worth the few extra bucks to throw right on the truck with the hub adapters. Total was $2,156 after discount (which pretty much just covered shipping)
Just a reminder... You'll still need the hub adapters to mount those 77.8mm bore wheels on the Rivian 64.1mm hub....

Not too bad for new wheels. For reference I have about $2100 in my set of 5 with Nokian Outpost tires. That is including center caps, TPMS, hubcentric rings, and Cerakote.
