Hope this helps.
Please keep me updated on this, this is what I plan to do in a few weeks exactly.

Default will it work

Sooo, From everything that I've reading is that a 325/60R20 or bigger will not fit on the stock 06' wheel without rubbing the a arm?

Here's how close the STOCK sized 275/60/20 tires are to the A-Arms


My pinky finger is about 5/8" wide. SO, you could in theory go to a tire thats 1" wider(305's) and not rub, but it'll be super close! 1/8" close. On a taller tire, the clearance may slightly change.

hey guys I hate to be a noob but i really need some reassurance before i go blow my money on non-refundable rims online. I have an 02 1500 4x4 and i just bought some 315 70 17 BF's (thats 34.4x12.4/17)

Now you say i should be able to pull these off if i have rims backspaced 5.5-4.5 right? but you also say the stock rims are backspaced 4.75, would that not mean 5.5 backspaced rims would be even closer to the inside? I'm pretty confused about this one and i'd be infinitely grateful if anyone can give me some guidance!

(i'm looking into some 4.53 backspaced rims with -12 backspacing if its worth anything)

Those should fit on stock 17's but might require a smal thin 1/4" spacer. 4.53" backspaced wheels will difinately fit those tires under your truck!

Dodge Ram 1500 4wd 2006-2008
Stock everything...fitment is limited to width on these trucks more than height with stock wheels. 34" x 11.5" is the absolute widest possible! Any wider and tire contacts upper a-arm balljoint.
stock wheels w/1/4" spacers will fit 35" x 12". They WILL NOT fit 35" x12.5" as that extra .5" makes the difference. Your tire will be about 1/4" away from the ballljoint with a 34" x 12" tire WITH 1/4" spacers. Fitment is up to you. Don't hate if they don't fit.
5.5"-4.5" backspaced wheels will allow 35"x12.5" tires silght rub at full lock.
aftermarket wheels as above PLUS 2"+ lift/level will fit 36's no problems(standard width of 12.5)

All the info you need to know is above.

You'll need spacers with stock wheels to clear. 1.25" spacers are the smallest you can go that have their own studs, and that wont force you to cut down your current studs. anything between 1/4" and 1", you'll have to get longer studs or cut down your studs because under 1.25" will hit the back of the wheels.
