Default Tire Clearence?

I have my torsion bars cranked and 2'' blocks in the back on my 03 dakota. thinking about putting on 32'' but i want wider than the usual 8.5'' rims. what is a good width for tires and rims i can clear given my lift that has minimal rubbing?

Width will all depend how much offset your new rims are. Biggest thing is check your local state codes and making sure going wide is ok. I know in pa they can only stick out 1in past the fender and flares can not exceed 3in.. I ran 32x11.50x15's on my 98 and just had my tb cranked. If you are cranking the stock tb you dont need blocks in the rear. Cranking the tb will level the front with the rear. When I did mine it raised the front about 1.5in

Stock with 31's

After tb crank with 32's

Looking at these pics makes me miss this truck... Such a fun little truck
