Default What size wheel can i fit?

Will I be able to fit 31" wheels on the back and 30" wheels in the front of my 97 dakota w/ stock suspension? Found a real good deal on some super swampers...

Is it 4x4 or no, cause if it is, you may have the clearance, but you dont wanna be mixing tire sizes with a 4 wheel drive truck, it will make the driveshafts bind and could do a lot of damage.

Nope, it's not a 4x4. I measured it out and it looks like the back will work, but be kinda tight. The front looks really close and might rub a little.

These are the wheels. I know those aren't the right rims, I'm just gonna use the wheels.

For future reference, wheels and rims are the same thing. You are asking about tires. This will get people confused. You should be able to fit 31" all the way around with no problem.

Actually in my circles the rim is the metal part, the tire is the rubber part, and the wheel is both together.

I have a 99' 4x4 with 32's and the only time they rub is turning lock to lock.

That's why it's called a wheel and tire shop?
