Default A few questions about tires and wheels

Im looking at new tires for my truck and am thinking about moving up to 35's. I was wondering if i could fit 35's without a leveling kit. I am also looking at new wheels and was wondering what offset width and backspacing would be good for a new set of wheels to run 35x12.50 on a 2007 dodge ram 1500

check the FAQ'S on top the page tons of info in there on this subject
but in a nut shell 35's with a level you will need to trim the fender and if using stovk rims you will need spacers

Yeah, old RH is getting tired of seeing the same tire question three or four times a day.

And he's correct about your sig, bwheelersc, 500x250 max. Resize it down to at least that size if you would. Oversize sig pics not only fill up a thread quick, but actually slow down the speed of the database.

And to the OP, 35's without a level kit is a no go... I personally don't even like 35s WITH a level kit. There is a big difference between "fitting" and being functional.
But to answer your question, with a level, you can fit 35's with a min of 4" of backspacing and any negative offset...

Even on a 2500 you need a lvl kit to run 35's, only difference is you can use your stock wheels.
