2001 Dodge 1500 tire question.....

I have an old Dodge I'm looking to put back on the road, and I want to put tires on it this week. A few years ago, I switched it to 20" wheels with some fairly low profile tires on it, but I want to go back to an all terrain. Problem is, I'm not sure a 20" all terrain will fit. Does anyone here have a clue if it will work or not before I venture into tire shop?
Edit to add that it is not a 4x4

Just buy tires with the same overall dimensions and you should be fine. You can look up a size converter on the web. If you still have the oem wheels, you'll save a bunch of money buying tires for a smaller wheel.

I do still have them, but they were steel wheels and look like crap (rust, brake dust embedded from a disc breaking, etc.). I'm putting this truck back on the road as a service vehicle, so I want it to look decent since it has my company name on it. I'm just hoping to be able to use the 20s without needing to do any modifications like spacers or lift kits.

Tire Size Calculator
You can use this to find out the overall dimensions of your current tires. Look at the available tires in 20" wheels and find one that is close. As long as you stay pretty close to what you have now. You should be fine. I think a lot of problems people have with rubbing are from going wider, so I would watch that.
And how tire sizes are read is:
Tire width/percentage of that width for sidewall R wheel size. By adding the wheel size and the sidewall number twice, you should be able to tell how tall your tires are.

Go ask on the 2nd Gen Ram board on Dodgetalk.com. They will know what can and cannot clear.
