Default Tires question

I have a 1994 dodge ram long bed. To my knowledge it is stock height ( I just bought it a few weeks ago.) Right now it has 265/75/16 on it. I am mostly gonna be using this for mudding and trailing. MY question is do you think these 34x10.50x16 will clear on stock rims?

Any and all info is much apprciated. Thanks

They should fit but they will rub a lot. You won't have much if any suspension travel before they hit the fenders either.

The truck actually looks leveled or the rear springs have sagged. Take a tape measure and measure from the ground to the fenders. My truck sat about 3" higher in the back then the front.

+1 on the rubbing, if you look into after market wheels with the correct back spacing you will probably be okay as far as rubbing on the control arms... BUT id say stock height youll still have problems with rubbing on the inner fender wells and stuff... if i didnt have a 3 inch lift and the extra clearance from my aftermarket bumper, my tires would rub on the fenders for sure

and it will probably be ridiculous for trailing and mudding... probably wont have much room for flex... as gere said

I run 31 x 10.5 and they just slightly rub when I turn sharp.

How big can you go with out problems on a stock height truck. My buddy i bought this from had 285-80-16 with no problems and what i read that should be equal to about a 34.00.

what should the front and rear ground to bottom of wheel well measurment be?

I know alot of people run 285s and say it rubs at full lock. 285s I believe measure out to be 32.8" and 315s are in about the 34.5" range

I want to say around 40" to the fender (rear) but that kinda sounds high. If I had a tape measure at school I would go measure.
