stock truck, big tires?
hey guys I just bought a 1997 dodge 1500 4x4 sport single cab short bed. It has no lift but I just put rancho 5000 shocks all the way around. I want to put mikey Thompson sidebiter 2 rims on the truck. they are 15" by 10" with a 3 5/8" back spacing. for tires I want to put khumo road venture mt's 33x12.50r15. will this combo work with no lift? will I have rubbing? and is the back spacing ideal for what I am looking for? also any input on offset? im kinda new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

I don't think you will be able to at the moment. The back you should be okay but it's the front. A leveling kit ($100-$150) will allow 33s to fit the front no problem. You may have a problem fitting those 15" rims as well. I'm never ran them but I don't believe they will fit without some modification to the caliper. As for the offset, that's a lot of offset. I have 16 x10 rims with 4" back spacing and its a lot but my lift allows me to run them. You might rub with that offset.

are 305/75/16 the same as 33's? or roughly? I want the tires to stick out past the fenders a little that's why I went with the 12.5's on a 10 inch wide rim with the 3 5/8 back spacing... if I get 16" by 10" rims with a 4 inch back spacing will the tires still stick out a little? if I do rub do you think it will be bad? just trying to get as much info as possible before I spend 1300 bucks

I have actually been looking into that and most people said on their 1500's they didn't have a problem with brake rubbing especially with the rims im looking at. and if they did have a problem with the caliper rubbing they just ground it down an 1/8 of an inch in the back...I did not hear a thing about tie rod ends though..
