hey guys, this is my first post here, so any help is appreciated. i have an 06 ram 1500 4x4, and i wanna put some new rubber n a leveling kit. i was wondering what all i need to do if i wanna put a 2 inch levelin kit, with 315/70/17 hankook dynapro MTs on it. im looking at using 17x9 dick cepek DC-1 black rims with it. does everything sound like it will fit and work out ok?

 

look in the FAQ section and do a search . hell just go to the bottom of the page . this question wont get answered because it has been beat to death . just a heads up before you get flamed .

welcome to DF

 

alright thank you

 

Not sure, I'm running a 2.5 level and the same height tire your looking to buy and have no issues but a 2" level might rub but im not sure.

By the way just if u was wondering your tire dimensions in inches here it is.

34.29 by 15.09 and after I did the math yes you will have rubbing issues because of the width. Thats mega wide.

 

a 315/70/17 is a 12.4 inch wide tire. would you wanna put that on a 9in. wide rim? i would think that would cause the middle of your tires to run down prematurely.

 

Welcome to DF!! That set up should work fine

 

or his tires will pop off the rim bead .

 

...so i was right...nice! and to fordeater06 here's a link to look up the specs of your tires.

the general rule of thumb on wide of tire to wheel is no more than 4". 9" wide wheel then 13" wide tire should be max and still be ok in almost every situation. Ive talked to several companys lately about max width, and theyve all said the same thing. if you run a bit lower pressure and do a chalk test the tires will wear evenly. I plan on running a 14" wide tire on a 9" wheel and have no doubts that it wont work.

 

Actually that is about perfect. Specs on a 12.5" wide tire call for a measured rim width of 8.5" - 10.5"...
