31 inch diamater, i believe 12.5 inch wide without modifying anything,

hopefully duranged408 will chime in, he should have a definite answer for you.

btw your rims should be 16x8

I have the 15in rims, but I have 31in. tires on it, I can't remember how wide they are, but I think I've got about the biggest tires that will fit on mine. I wouldn't want to try anything bigger, there isn't much more room.

i have 285/75r16 on mine with a t/s lift and some miner mods to the inner wheel well just had to move some plastic out of the way not bad. if your not going to lift it do 265/70r16 that's the bigger Original Equipment size. i did 265/75/16 with out a lift they where ok.

I thought 32x11.50 was the biggest without lifting a durango. But the only one I've seen in this size is the bfg all terrain ko's. You can go 33x12.50 but there will be frame rub and you have to put in a least 2in of lift.

Some can fit the 32's but it depends on if their ride height is set right. Most the durangos on the road are not set right so they can only take a 31. But the widest on OEM height, and rims is 11.5" on a 4X4.
