Hey Guys I know there has been many questions about tires lately.. and i would go back and read and maybe figure it out from previouse posts.. but dont have the free time right now.. Just wondering if these will fit on my 99 dodge ram 1500, No lift, No Leveling kit.
..If I need a quick fix leveling kit i could probly do that.. but i just need new tires and im saving for my 5.9 at the moment.. so the lift kit will be much later..
Thnx Camron

They should, but they will probably rub at full lock, the lugs on the sides of the tires will hit the arms connecting the axle to the frame. I had 285/75/16 on my truck, stock, no lift, and they only rubbed at full lock, The tires were roughly 33". When they rubbed it sounded horrible it was like a clunking noise, so i usually never turned my steering wheel all the way to the left or right to prevent that horrible noise

 

Dont you have a 2WD Silver?
If so id go a little lower then that maybe like 265s.

 

do you think so... hmm didnt even think about that.. and i know i must sound stupid. But what are these "gears" arethey in the differential?and what would a stock V6 1500 be running? and if i go with these will they still rub?

Yeah gears are in your Diff.
255's Would be fine thats like a 30
and the 3.9L running wise has 175 hp, not sure if youre talking about HP but if you mean tires i think they run 225s same as the 4x4s i believe.
Or if youre talking about the gears i think there 3.55

 

4x4's run 245/75/16 at least in my case along with my 3.55 gears

 

my 01 4x4 off road pkg/sport came with 275/70/17 they fit and I think I am going to be going up to the exact tire your talking about.

 

I have those tires with no problems. I also have the off-road package w/ a leveling kit. Got the tires before the kit and still had no problem. The OR has a factory 2" lift though.

 

Yes, you both run 275's on 17" rims. he has 16" rims probably.
