Default Tires

Hi Guys

I have a set of 32x11.50x15 tires. My 94 Dakota is 2 wheel drive. Would these tires fit without a lift? I read somewhere I could run 31x10.50x15 on it. I will use the factory rims.


Thank You

I ran 31's on my old 2wd 96 4 cyl dak but I ran spring spacers in the front (the kind that go on top of the spring) the back was fine and this was on factory 5 star rims... 32's would work on the rear but I dunno about the front Id see if that tire shop would let ya test fit... most places will to get the sale

I always can mount one of the 32's on the spare rim to put it on the front to see if it rubs.

Thank you

A 2" leveling kit should for 32" tires. I'd get some wheel spacers if sticking with stock rims. also if you like to play off road you might want to smack the corners of your fenders to play it safe

Hi
I will find a set of 31's for the Dakota. I read somewhere I can put those on without a lift.

Thank You
