ok guys im new but have been reading this for a while SO HELLO EVERYONE!!!!!!

heres my question: ok i know when u put bigger tires on ur truck also gets bigger i got the bf goodrich on now with the outer diameter 34.5 and tread is 10 inches and i clear them with my wheels pointed straight foward by 5 1/2 inches with the wheels cut all the way i clear them by 4 inches but this is with the stock wheels and no trimming( which i dont wont) if i get 15x10 wheels with 3.75" backspacing and a tire thats 38" outer diameter and 11" tread width u think i can clear with little or no trimming?

 

no way

Do you have a ram with an offroad package?

you may have clerance now with the tires you have but you're also not considering articulation of the axle. I bet you have way less than 4" with the wheel turned when the axle is flexed

 

yes it is the off road package and i dont do any rock crawling just playing in mud holes

 

38's will need 8 to 9 inches of lift to clear.
Any reply God Ram It, how much clearance do you have with 9 inches.
I have 6" with 35's. might could squeeze 36's but would probably hit something during suspension travel on the front corners.

 

i have the 5" rough country kit 3" body and leveling kit on my truck right now i want bigger tires but not sure how big i can go

 

this is 8" and 35s

 

what kind of lift r u running ram it?

 

even if you do mud, your axle will still articulate.

Where is your measurement being taken? Fromt eh tire to the bumper or the tire to the rear part of the fender?


also, the after market rims with that back spacing will help clearance on the control arm.

what year is your truck?

 

it is a 2000 1500 and the measurments were from the tire to the rear part of the fender

 

Im running a SJ 5" lift with superlift 1" coil bucket weld in spacers and a 3" body lift.

I just got a trail master lower arm that is 33" long that I'll be installing for extra flex and I'll be fabbing my own bracket for it as well.
It should also bring my control arms parallel again. For some reason nobody but trail master makes a 4-5" kit that keeps the arms parallel.
