Default Tire Sizing HELP!!!!

Looking to level my 06 1500 Quad cab 4x4 and put new rubber under her. Want to keep my stock 20" 5 spoke rims, what's the biggest tire she can hold? I think I want 33" or 34".......what tires would you reccomend.

Would consider new used black rims if you have for sale.

Thanx for your help!

My leveled 4x4 fits 35s, so you should be able to go that big if you want to...

As for the tires, it just depends on the look you want to go for. Are you wanting some mean looking tires to go off roading with or what?

I have some Toyo A/Ts on my truck.

Thanks. No I didn't change gears...I would like to eventually, but my truck came with 3.92s, so going up to 35s wasn't as bad as if I had the 3.55s...I mean, there was still a noticeable difference in acceleration and stuff after i jumped up to them, but it's not too bad.


The tires are 35x13.5x20rim. Wish I could find some 17s with 35s on them, but no dice so far.

Oh **** I just realized I told you I have toyos haha. They are actually procomps

I ended up gpoing with a 2" leveling kit and 285-70-r17 and it looks great with no rubbing issues, but it looks like you could go bigger with little problems

Hey I have a 2001 Dodge Ram Sport 4x4, and i'm putting on a 5" susp lift with a 2 1/2" leveling kit in the front to have the cab sit up a lil higher. Right now I only have the leveling kit on it and running 33x12.50 mud grapplers easily. Does anyone know if I could run 37x13.50 with the bigger lift set up listed above? Thanks guys
