Default Tire Question And Clearance Issue

Okay so i have a couple things to ask.

1. Will i be able to clear 35's on my 01' ram 1500 , 5.9l ex. cab 4x4, 2.5" coil spring spacer and 1.5" block in the back?

2. This guy on Craigslist is selling 2 toyo open country's size 315/75/16 (aprox. 34.6) for $180 bucks mounted,balanced and 30 day warrenty, and they have 70% tread left. Is that a good deal? they are $250 a piece new, and i was just going to get 2 more and then ill have a nice set of 35's.

let me know guys, thanks

it will be close, probably be ok, if you don't articulate it to much, it may rub a little.

what backspacing are you running, that will have alot to do with it as well. If you are running stock wheels, that will help you some also

oem dodge rims are 5" back spacing i believe, i would think that you will be alright, it will be tight, but do-able.

Being stock truck w/ only 2.5" spacers...will get you with major rub. It's doable after you've cut the inner fenderwell. Having the ORE stock lift, which is somewhere < 2" I had tire rub at the panel seam, which acts like a knife at about 20* turn. The 2.5" coil spacers I put on gave me about 1" clearance.

You will be doable with big time rub. Keep the wheels straight and you'll be just perfect.
