Default tires

I have a stock 2001 4.7 liter dakota. I want to big tires on it and have them stick out and look good. I want to know what is the biggest tire size and widest tire size i can fit on my truck without lifting it. I would like 33's on it so how much would i have to lift it for them.

i don't think 33's fit on stock setup.
i got 31's and thats the limit.
2" body lift and you can get 33's.

Here is a link to the FAQ: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...ion-ideas.html

I think the lugnuts are 1/2-20 but don't quote me on that.

I have 265/75-16, which is 31.6", cranked t-bars and only rub slightly once in awhile with no load (other than people). Any larger would def rub and I'm still thinking about trimming the plastic on mine.

32s will fit with the torsion bars cranked and 11.50 is the widest you can fit on a stock rim.

as long as the wheel is stock 15X8 you can run a 12.50 with no problems.

I thought you couldnt on a stock rim cause it would rub to much when turning.
