Default Would I have to lift?
I just bought a 96' dodge ram 1500 about a month ago and i dont like the smaller tires. They are 245/75/16 and i dont like how small they are. On my 97' i have 265/75/16 and they seem alright. Well i bought some 15'' chrome rims and i have a set of 33'' wide tires. Would i have to lift to make them fit?

Damn, " 33 inches wide" ? No lift lift needed, just lots of money for bearings and ball joints.

You'll need offset wheels or spacers because theyll rub real bad when turning
