Hi,

Just bought a 1999 Dodge Dakota with Cooper Discover STT 285/70 R17. These look great on the car but are a bit too wide so they hit the frame when you turn the steering wheel all the way. Do you think 265s would work better?

If they are narrower, then yes.

 

Ok, let me rephrase myself. From experience, what is the biggest size of tire that I can fit on a 17" rim on a Dodge Dakota Sport from 1999 without it hitting anything on the body or frame?

Thanks!

 

I have a 99 Dakota R/T and I have lionhart 275 55 17 on the back they fit and look amazing I got them off ebay for less than 300 for the pair

 

And what size do you have in front?

 

255 55 17 which is stock. For R/T
