Default Tire Questions...the final verdict

Hey everyone...O.K. I need a final answer for my question. I have searched and searched but can't find a definite resolution. I have a 05 Ram 1500 Hemi, 2wd with the 20 inch stock rims. I need new tires soon and I want to put the biggest ones under there, probably the Nitto Grapplers due to cost. What size can I fit under there with no rub? I am not against putting a leveling kit on the front, but I'm not going to put any body lift or suspension on it, after all it is only a 2wd. I have heard 35's will fit with a little rub, but not really convinced. 33's? I want the tallest, widest tires that I can out on. Any help that you guys can give me would be awesome.

33's come stock, put a 2.5 level on it and you can fit 35's

Did you check the FAQ section in 3rd Gen, there should be something there with this on there.

what year is your truck?
you can fit 35x12.5 with the front leveled out 2-2.5 inches and a 1/4 inch wheel spacer. check out tankz400's truck he has 35x12.5s with a leveling kit and wheel spacers. looks great and he has no rub. check out 3rd gen faq's page up top, there is a tire size fitment thread. they WILL fit. just do it.

Hey guys...thanks for the quick replies. Oefootball...You have done this to the truck in the picture right? Do you have a full pic of the truck? How hard is it to install the leveling kit, and did you need new shocks or did the stock ones still work. Also, where to buy spacers?
