Hello,

I have a Yellow 1999 Ram 1500 Reg Cab 4x4 with a 360, I have the stock wheels and tires on the Ram still. They are 265/75R16 and I want to go bigger without a lift kit.

Can someone tell me what size I can go to.?

I would like to go taller and wider.

Thank You drider98

 

I put 285/75/r16s A/T DUELLERS on my '94 ram with the stock rims and they rubbed a little on the lower torsion bar when turning all the way until steering lock, other than that they did fine! I wouldn't go any bigger without a wider backspaced wheel

 

When I bought my 98 4X4, I had 305/70/r16's...they were a little big, and I did rub when I cut the wheels hard, but I figure I should be able to run 33 295/75/r16's without a lift, and I'm running 275's right now with no problems at all...so at the least, 285', but you might be able to get away with 295's, if it's a 4 by

 

You can definitely put 285/75/16's on it. I have BFG KO T/A's on mine and they rub a little when I cut the wheel all the way, but not enough that I've felt any sense of compulsion to get wheel spacers or lift it. I'm in a '97 1500 4x4. If you're running a similar vehicle you should be fine. Not sure about 295's. Haven't seen them in action on a stock Ram.

That's been my big complaint with the overall appearance of the 2nd gen Rams. There's so much room under the fender wells that the vehicles almost look disproportionate. A 33" tire fills it out nice. If you go with the 33" tires, let us know how they work out for you.

I put up a couple pics of my truck with new tires on it.

I bought a used 1999 Ram 2500 5.9L diesel 2wd... I would like to know the stock tire size that came on this truck.... I tried looking for the sticker in the door jam but someone painted over it.

Thanks

 

Dude 9 year old thread.... its on the inside of your driver door, on that little details sticker. That or email dodge for a build sheet.

 

Welcome to DF! Google is your friend. Go to discounttire.com, put in your make/make/model, it will tell you what the stock tire size is, which I found out to be: 245/75-16

 

Props for doing a search and not starting yet another tire size thread. And here is the link to get your build sheet. Should have one anyway. http://www.dodge.com/wccsapp/univers...ull&category=R


He said it was painted over...

 

They ALL say stock tire size is 245..... And that is what the sticker on my door says as well. My build sheet, however, says 265's.... Which I am more inclined to believe.

 

Yeah mine came stock with 265s.

I really want to go to 35x12.50s but don't really feel like regearing to 4.10s yet...
