Hello group I'am a newbie here. I just bought a used 97" Dodge rams ext. cab sport with the 5.9. My question is how much bigger of a tire can I go to fill up some of the wheel well clearance? Also will going to a bigger tire cause transmission problems for me? I have talked to a few people who claim running bigger tires will tear up the trannys. Thanks[IMG][/IMG]

 

i fit 33s on my 95 without a lift. but its a standard cab. i dunno if its any different. hope it helps

o yea i guess the official measurement was 285-75-16

(and an actual measurement showed 32.7, not 33)

 

well I was wondering if a tire of 265-75-16 will fit on my 95 ram 5.2. The measurement is 31.6 but I don't know if it will fit. I hope so cuz the tires that I looked at are pretty sharp and the tire guy said that you can put about anything on a 2wd ram. I was just askin if they would fit??

 

4x4? 1500? 2500?

I have 265's on my 97 1500. Thewy look TINY with that 3" lift.

If you have a 2500 you *might* be able to hit 35's w/out a lift but You'll probably get some rub. 33's for sure though I'd say if its a 4x4!

 

Ive got 315/75R16 buckshot mudders with just a 2 inch leveling kit filled up alot of fender well room looks, good and it only rubs at full stop it depends on the rims you have too though Ive got the stock chrome steel dodge 1500 weels

 

Heck yeah!! No problem! Thats like stock size.

 

yah i agree thell fit no prob ive gor 285/75/16 with no lift and they sit in there niceley

oh yah stock on mine was 245/75/16

 

stock for me were 275's i think... on my offroad sport i know i can easly fit 35's with the 2" level .. 33's leaving it stock

 

well stock for mine is 225/75/16. I was told about anything would fit like I has said before. Its a 2wd 318 1500 reg. cab. A plain jane truck. They should fit I mean I wouldn't see why they wouldn't.

 

I have a 1999 with a 360 ext cab and I had 185 75 r16 on stock rims with no rub and now I have the same size tire on a 16x10 " rim looks hot check them out on the new rims and grill thred
