yea its a 4x4..i see no point in getting big tires if you dont have 4 wheel drive...so i can actually fit 35" tires with the leveling kit?

I ran 285/75/16s on my truck for a couple years and when turned full lock they rubbed on the inside of the tire against the 4link...if you measure that tire it is exactly 33" tall. You can get away with it, just don't turn the wheel full lock. I wouldn't imagine any bigger on the stock rims.

You should be able to without a problem with a little cutting of your inner fender plastics. But you will most likely face the same rubbing problem as 94ram4x4 if you are using the stock backspacing.

I wouldn't go too wide on the stock tire;the stock 16 rims are only 7" wide. a 285 tire ismore than11" wide. Not that it wouldn't fit, but i would advise against it.

As far as the actual tire size converted to inches, there is slight variation from manufacture to manufacturer. So calculate all you want, it might be off. Best to take a tape measure to the tires themselves..

I have no lift whatsoever and am running 305/70/16 ( 32.8 / 12 )with no rubbing at full turn at all. Only time it rubs is when i hit a bump at full turn or turning into an alley or something.
