TIRES
I HAVE A 2003 DAKOTA SLT PLUS CLUB CAB 4X4 WITH THE 3.9L. I HAVE 265/70R16 TIRES... CAN I FIT 265/75R16 NITTO'S WITHOUT A LIFT? WILL I HAVE TO CUT AWAY SOME PLASTIC IN MY WHEELWELL. WILL IT HIT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM? IF NOT...IS THERE AN AGRESSIVE 265/70R16 OUT THERE? GRABBER AT2? NITTO DOES NOT MAKE THE TERA IN THAT SIZE...GRRR
research amigo.
i've got the BFG M/Ts in a 255/85-16 and the rub a little. but crank the torsion bar a little and your good. I highly recomend the BFG M/Ts. they look great and are amazing in the mud or anything. i don't even need 4x4. i was out with a chevy in his 6'lift and 35's and he had to put it in 4x4 to keep up with my stock little dak with my BFGs and 2wd. haha.

not sure if you're into them, i know nothing about tires. i also have a tire thread going on another forum but for my bike. the dale earnhardt jr's all fit the 2nd gen daks and out of over 20,000 rim/wheel tire combos i looked at they were my faves
or use a tape measure and see how much room u have and use these sites..
