Thumbs up First time dodge owner

Hey everyone,
I just purchased a 2002 dodge ram. I LOVE IT, and i am reado to go to the next level but need your guys help. I plan on lifting it 6", and that clearly requires new tires, and thats where I need help. What should i be searching for, Im not good with all the numbers, and I think I need 35" tires, and what size rims? I drive it strictly in the city if that helps at all. Anyones input is greatly appreciated, I just really need to know what size tire and rims I should look for with 6" lift. Thanks everyone!

If you're planning on bigger tires, you may want to consider regearing the rear end so the final drive ratio isnt too negatively affected by your larger tires.

What size tires and rims is 100% opinionated. What do YOU want? I run a 12" lift with 36" tires and 24 " rims. Not everyone would do that but I do. There are MANY combinations you could do. The big questions is what do YOU want and how much money do you have because that could easily narrow down the options.

Pick your rims out first. Pay attention to backspacing and offset. That will help determine how wide of a tire you can buy.
