Tires and wheels
Looking to put the largest possible mud tires on my 97 1500. I want to do it cheap because i don’t have a whole lot of money to put into this. I figure I’m also going to need wheels because i still have the factory 15in wheels on it now. Also wondering if there is anyway that someone knows of to boost my gas mileage. Thanks for your help!

Seriously? You want big tires but in the same breath want great mileage? Sorry, you cannot have your cake and eat it too.
Stock wheels are 16", not 15". The largest tires you can put on the stock wheel is 285/75R16 without seriously distorting the tread. Wider wheels can handle as big as you want given the proper lift is installed. It's a money-pit-rabbit-hole you are entering.

I've bought many wheel/tire combo's over the years and always got the best prices from them.

Fix the plenum, tune it up and drive like their is an egg under the gas pedal.
