Default Help buying tires possibly tommorow!! 4- 35x13.5x15 toyo mt like new condition

I have a chance to buy 4 like new condition 35x13.5x15 toyo m/t for $250, im currently running 33x12.5x16.5 bfg m/t , i have the offroad package and 3 inch lift ,at least thats how big the rear leaf blocks are , truck was like this when i bought it, my question is will these tires work if i buy 15 inch rims?without rubbing, just curious even tho im going from a 16.5 inch rim to 15 inch rim if that will make up the difference for the rubbing issue? Any input would be greatly appreciated ,i've searched a little but but i need to now asap , i was going to call a tire shop but its to late in the night, thank you

No way in hell they will fit. Might as well sell them to me for $275 and make a few bucks.


OK OK, they should fit fairly well as long as you stick with an 8" wide wheel. Do you have 3" of lift on top of the off road setup or is it a 3" lift for a normal ram? If it is just a normal 3" lift then you may rub when turning sharp and flexing.

You know these trucks have factory blocks right? Sure that's not what you are seeing? As for fitting I have no idea but I'd buy them for that price if they were in good shape.

yeah it's to good of a deal to pass up, i like your setup on your dodge, looks good, i was looking for the easiest way to get around the rubbing issue, like bushwacker "cut outs "but i heard they dont sell any beacause on dodges there is nothing to cut out on the bottom of the fender,i think i might call bushwacker to see if they have something that will work whats the easiest way to get past the rubbing issue,if that happens?, $250 can't beat that, i think 1 tire sells for about that, im in need of new tires by the end of the summer ,
