I would say prob. so. but if not it will be close. i have like 12" wide tires and sometimes i think i can hear it rubbing when i start to roll really slow.

If you get new wheels with the correct amount of backspacing, then no, you will not need spaces. If you don't, you will definetly need spacers.

no you wont need spacers and I wouldnt run them anyway on a 4x4. last thing you need is to have a problem with one of them wheeling. get some good aftermarket rims with the right backspacing. rule of thumb on a ram is minimum 4" of lift for 35's, 5" is better.
