Default Tire size question

What is the biggest size tire that I can run on a 2000 dodge ram 1500, with an off road package. No leveling kit. Also what would the size be with a leveling kit?

Well I have a 2000 Dodge sport 1500....I'm running 285 75 16....
They only rub if I turn the wheel all the way to the left.....but look awesome... since you have the off road package your an inch and a half higher then me....so they'd be perfect...leveling kit maybe 295 75 17 would be okay....pretty sure you have the 17in rims on that...don't thing 305's would fit without more lift...

10 bucks says I can make them fit without more lift. I have 38.5 on my '95 with a 3" lift. Just can't be afraid of cutting sheet metal!

Might as well just take the fenders and bed off and run 44's.

With a leveling kit, the recomended tire size is like 31s. So basically without a lift, im looking at 28s at most?
