does anyone know how large a tire will fit in the back without a lift. i was looking at how close the tires came to anything and it looks like there is a lot of room in the back? thank you

2005 dodge ram 1500 2wd

 

why would you put different size tires on? you know how stupid that'll look on a truck?? If you really wanted to though, you'll clear 35's

 

the reason is because I have rear wheel dry and not a 4x4. So now I'm trying to do things you would do to a rear wheel car. I just want a little wider and bigger and hopefully with that and a limited slip differential I'll have a little better traction, that and I like doing whats out of the ordinary lol

 

put cinder blocks in the bed, or use chains

 

Why don't you just drop the back to level the truck instead of putting bigger tires. As far as traction, there are alot of other things you can do to improve traction that wouldn't kill the looks of your truck. just my

 

i am open to suggestions as to all the things you can do to get better traction. Thank you

 

i dont know if it would look bad, kind of like the old school hot rods. event he new cameros have bigger wheels and tires in the back. i thought about this before you will have to lower it to look right. if its what you want go for it.

 

Well for one you can put weight in the bed. I'v seen a mattress that fits in the bed of your truck that you fill with water to put weight on the rear tires. I'v seen people use this to get better traction in snow. Lowering your air pressure in your tires will give you better traction, but I'm not trying to sway you from the bigger tires on the rear of your truck, I'm just giving my opinion. If you want bigger tires on the rear then,by all means , go for it.

 

i am putting bigger tires on the rear if my truck. i am doing it to fill in the wheel wells a little better. my 2 tires in the back were worn out and the front were still good so i just picked up 4 new tires 285/35 and am just gunna do the back till the front ones go out

the tires are still gunna be about the same in height just that the rear tires will be wider

:EDIT:
i just got my new tires mounted and it does look kinda wierd to me. but to others probably not only cuz the tires stick out a little cuz they are wider also since the thread is new it has a deeper look to it.

still looks good though. luckily i didnt get 305/40/22
