looked it and theres an important question that hasnt been answered on the sticky, whats the biggest/widest tire I can use on the stock wheel WITHOUT rubbing the control arm and WITHOUT adding any spacers, strictly just tires, (I will probably do 2" leveling anyways) and my other question is what spacer is recommended to use and then what will be the widest I can do?

 

You obviously need to go back to school and re-learn how to read (unless of course you are currently in school, then you need to ask your teachers for extra help)...

From Dirtydog's post you were told to read:

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.


As far as spacers go, I won't run them myself, especially on a 4x4. Seen too many of them fail. Now if you're a pavement queen with that 4x4 of yours and pretty much just want to lift it so you can go cruise the junior highs for chicks, then you can get away with them as long as they are hub centric...

 

Good, thats what i need to know and yes i missed that bc i was looking at the 02-05 section, how much of a spacer? 20mm and then i can do 35x12.50x20?

 

ok, I do some research and this is what I discovered from what I can fit:

Stock is 275/60/20 = 33x10.8x20

285/60/20= 33.5x11.2x20

285/65/20= 34.6x11.2x20

305/55/20= 33.2x12.0x20

Well since 34x11.5x20 is the absolute widest, seems like ill do 285/65/20 which also comes in the tire I want as well: Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac, the only question I have is since I put my hand in between the upper control arm and tire, there literally was barely any room with my stock size, will these Goodyear with the aggressive thread pattern even fit?

 

I think the best advice I ,myself, can give you is to buy the tires and a set of 1" spacers. Take the truck to the tire shop, get them mounted up, drive it, and if they rub drive it back to the tire shop, remove them, put the 1" spacers on and put the tires back on. Then you can drive it again and if they still rub keep buying bigger spacers until they fit.

 

Nice truck man. It reminds me of mine haha

 

Hey guys does anyone no the biggest tires you can buy for a stock ram 1st gen?

 

That answer would probably be in the 1st Gen Forum.

 

Here is my setup: 2" Bilstein 5100 Leveling strut, 1 1/2" lift Rear Monroe load level coilover, 33.5" tires w/ 1.5" spacers all-around

 

Thats a nice looking truck.
