too bad you're not closer, I'd give a great price on the ones I'm taking off soon.

 

I have a 2005 dodge dakota quadcab st 3.7l v6 I bought a 5in leveling kit for it after its installed I want to put 255/75R17 tires on it will they fit my stock rims?

 

First, how do you get a 5 inch levelling kit? is it 2 inch level kit with 3 inch body lift?

Second, what size tire do you currently have? If you currently have 16 inch rims, so the answer would be no, you need new rims. If you currently have 17 inch rims, the 255/75R17 tire size has an overall size of 32", which will fit with just fine with just the 2 inch level kit. You might need to do some slight trimming but i doubt it.

 

I ran those. Bfg mud terrain jeep specific size. Looks great, bites great. 2" level kit, 2" blocks in back. Rubbed on both ends anyway, but barely. Inner fender plastic on the front (easy fix). Axle wrap in the back made them rub the cab side of the rear fenders when put in a bind. Can't beat the price of those, even bought brand new.

 

I know this is an old post and this is for reference for someone else. my current tire is a 265/65/r18. stock was 265/60/r18. Tire websites say i'm suppose to have a 16" rim, but my door stickers and dodge say otherwise.

My current tire is 31.5" tall and 10.4" wide. The OP's tire in question was 32.1" tall and just over 3/8" narrower than mine. I also don't have a leveling kit. I have about 3 to 4 inches of clearance on top of my tire and easily over 1" of clearance on the sides with the wheels straight. And the clearance doesn't change much with the wheels turned. So a 32" tire should easily fit with no mods. my truck is a 2007 SLT 3.7L
