Alright quick question, just bought a 98 dodge ram 1500, and got a new set of tires for cheap, they are 265/65r17, are they going to fit?

Thanks

No, they won`t fit. The stock tires are 245/75R16. You would need new rims to make them work, and the larger tires will also effect your gear ratio.

If you have 17in wheels they will fit just fine. And you won't notice the gear ratio change much if at all.
