Default 295/75/16 on stock rims?

Can I put 295/75/16 tires on my stock rims?
I think the rims are 16x8, but I am not sure about that.
My truck is Ram 2500 QC LB 4x4 Cummins5.9L.

They'll probably rub a little on your suspension arms at full turn, but you won't have any fender issues I doubt... I've got 285's on my 1500 on stock wheels, which would sit lower than yours, and that's my only issue

They might rub a little. Granted you have a 3/4 ton. On a 1/2 ton, they would rub.

Well....would be nice if I could use them without fenders, have to lookout for the suspension arm then.

oooh...Yes I have a 3/4 ton, maybe it could work then without rubbing, maybe....eh..hope should not rub, if it does then I use 285/75/16.
Thank's

I think my truck is lifted a little but I am not sure.
Would be nice to speak with the former owner but the truck is sold used by Chrysler in Lafayette, Twin City. Then exported to Finland in Scandinavia.
If anybody know something about this truck it would be very nice to hear about it.

You can go to Dodge's website and send their customer service your VIN number, asking for a build sheet. That'll tell you everything it came with from the factory.

When you say Lafayette, Twin City, are you referring to Twin City Dodge Chrysler, a dealership in Lafayette, Indiana?

I have 285's on mine. Iirc there is slight rub marks on the sway bar not enough to hurt though. If you get them post pics would love to see one with bigger tires

you can def fit those tires on your stock rims, i have mystock rims on my truck still with 315/75/16. before i lifted the truck i had 285/75/16 comfortably and nothing rubbed. now its lifted and even with the 35's i barely rub on my control arms at full turn. sometimes if the truck is at hard angle (articulation) they rub but hardly ever.
