Default what tires should i get

Im lifting my truck 5in. Im going to get 35 super swampers on 10 or 12 in rims. I was wondering if anyone new a good tire the same size that would fit on my factory rims. and it that would work or if it would ride like crap because its up too high and the tire is too thin. i think the size i need is 315x75r16 or something like that. ( i would like it to be under 150 a tire. There just going to be my street tires.)

I have a 2001 Ram 1500 with a 5 inch and 35s, but not on stock rims. The after market wheels are 16 inchers though and you are correct. 315/75/16 is a 35. If you are looking for just a steet tire there are some for around 150.

There is just an example. Your local shop could probibly hook you up also. I don't know what kind of rubbing issues you might run into with your stock wheels though.

Cool, i was just wondering if they would work. I really dont want to have to get two new sets of rims if i dont have to. I wanted to keep my stock rims incase i ever have to sell my truck. But if anyone thinks 35 on stock rims would be unsafe please let me know.
