Default Wheels

I have noticed on some rams incluling my own that if you put a bigger tire on them one tire seems to stick out further (out of the fender wall) than the other unless it is with the stock tires? It is always the passenger side that sticks out. Anybody know why? I mounted 35" by 12.5 on mine just to see what it would look like and it was way off and on craigslist a guy had a 14 .5 and his was way off center is this an axle issue? Its only on the front 2 tires though?

I have the same problem, only mine is front and rear. Passenger side sticks out just a little more than drivers. And I am only running 265/75/16

That means you can go faster on left turns!

Wheels/tires shouldn't make a difference. If your truck is lifted in some fashion, or, if the track bar is getting sloppy..... I can see how that might do it.

Just FYI it is the trackbar. If you look in the DIY under trackbar installation he has a very good writeup about this issue.
