It's been a while, but I've decieded to go with some aftermarket wheels to upgrade my Ram. I am thinking upon a 16x10 wheel all around. Summit Racing part # SUM-164-6185P, with a 4.25 inch back spacing and -32mm offset . Going with a 315/75R16 tire. Which is around 34.5 inch tire by 12 inch wide. Either a Cooper ATR or a BF Goodrich A/T KO. I'm doing a 1 inch block on the rear axle. My leveling kit made my front end alittle higher than the rear. Wanted to know if there's anybody done this before?

 

With only a leveling kit up front and 35's with 10" wide wheels, I can amost guarentee you will getting rubbing on the rear of the front fender while turning. You would have a better chance with an 8" wide wheel.

Also, considering your gearing, I would recommend just getting a 305x70x16 tire instead. I have the same gears and have ran a 35" tire before... it sucks. That size tire would also fit the lift much better.

Just my opinion.


Oh, and I recommend the BFG AT over the coop's. They will cost more, but they will also last a lot longer.

 

Yea I can see them rubbing. One more thing I know yr form N.C. and there is some jacked up trucks down there(I got the the outer banks 1 a yr) but if yr tires stick out to far they might not pass for inspection. I'm sure its not a big thing at all down there but up here in PA it is. My 16X8 with a 4.03 it almost didnt pass but my dads good friends with the guy.

 

u might want to watch out some states don't allow tires to stick out past the fenders

 

Already been said. It almost happend to me.

 

Alright so what about just a 16x8 wheel. And maybe a 295/75r16 or 305/70r16. Just trying to figure it all out before spending the $$$. I didn't think about bottoming out the suspension either.

 

I think U'm going to re-route my thinking on size and just keep the 285 size. My Sport King A/T are about to kick the bucket. And I just found a set of GoodYear MTR for $450, that's been never installed and have been in a basement for alittle less than a year.

 

Yeah, for that price I would be scarfing those tires up. Their a good all around size, too. Nice find!

 

My 16x8 dick cepeks with a 4.03 stick out about 2" on the front. Less than 1" in the rear.

 

if you wanted to, you can run a 315/75/16 on an 8" rim, thats the combo i am using. but i noticed olyelr advised against 35s because of your gearing, i would probobly listen to him, lol. just thought i would throw that out there
