well you can fit 32in tires in there without lift, so if you have very low profile tires, then yea maybe....but get ready to replace front end parts alot.

The rim width is 10 or 11.They already have tires because I might buy them from someone.They are low pros but fill up the fender on a 2009 Ram 1500.

Its going to be damn close, your looking at around 32 inches depending on tire if needed you could get away with a spacer and shouldnt have to worry.

One thing you need to pay attention to is how big the center of the rim is and if you can clear the hub on your truck so dont buy unless you know that will fit.

If you find out the tire size you can use a tire calc to figure out how big the tire will be should be okay with somewhere around 32 and street tires

275/25/26 would be 31.5" tall. Pretty sure 275 is the min width you can run on an 11" wide rim. The backspacing would have to be 6.5" if you dont want it hanging out beyond the body with an 11" rim IIRC. If the BS is less than that, or the tires a taller profile they will rub for sure.

If you cant get all the detail on the tires as far as section width & profile as well as rim width & backspacing I would not buy them unless you can do a test fit.
