iam running 285-75-16 on stock 16'' ram wheel. i have the 2.5 leveling kit and the back rasied a tad bit higher then the front. they look a little lost in the wheel wells. i bought a set of off road factory wheels and will go to a taller tire soon.

like i said im sitting a little bull dog i think when i get some wider tires and rims it will look pretty good?

decided on going with a a 16x6 rim with a 33 by 10.5 tire just because i know i can clear it easy. people will notice a difference from stock i believe

heres the rims im looking at getting not sure on tires yet.

i ran 285/75/16 on stock rims for a while the went to 16x8 black procomp steels with 305/70/16 rubber. i have a 2" level with no rubbing with either wheel combo. 305s are only about 12" wide not 12.5. two things i noticed though... running a tire that sticks out a bit made me want fender flares and 33s make you want 35s lol
