What is the biggest tire you can put on a 2004 2500 4 by 4 with out lifting it? I have a set of 18" tires laying around I would like to use.

 

33"....after that it rubs on turns

 

do you no anybody that has run this big of a tire on these trucks?

 

Many Rams come with 33 in tires from the factory. I think you are confusing rim size with overall wheel/tire size. You can put 33s on nearly any wheel size available.

 

believe it or not but i have 35's on stock rims without a lift on my 03' 1500.

 

35"s.....no lift......pics please......[sm=jawdrop.gif]

 

sorry...wrong face[sm=bs.gif]

 

Does it make a difference on which packages you have when it comes to maximum tire size?

 

A larger wheel diameter does not mean that the tire is larger... you need to go by the OD of the tire and the tread width. On a stock offset wheel, 35x12.50 RXX will fit an un-lifted 2500 with minimal rubbing. 2.5" lift coils will make the situation better.

 

I've got 265/70R17's on my ram, which originally had 245/70R17's and it filled up the wells nicely.
