question on tire size and capability
could i fit four goodyear wrangler 255 75 17 tires on my stock 17in wheels on a 4.7 04 dodge 15oo slt quad cab 2wd? i am going to install a 2in front leveling kit with coil spacers and extended shocks befor i mount the tires but i just need to know if they will fit on the rim and if i will sacrafice anything from doing so? thanks
That's a relatively small tire at about 32" x 10" and would fit with no problem whatsoever, to me they'd even look a bit too small after a level install.
I'd shoot for something closer to 33" x 11" with a level and stock rims, which would equate to about a 285/70/17 tire if it were mine...

I have to agree with HammerZ71, I think it would look silly with 255's, even if it is a "75" profile. What are you trying to accomplish, keeping the final ratio as close to stock as possible?. The factory 17's look small all ready on a RAM (Dodge 1500).
thanks everyone I might have to step up to some 20s bc it has too much room with the stock 17s. but if I stay with 17s im gonna have to go with hammerz71 idea on bigger tires. and im just trying to get bigger wheels or tires on a budget..
if you stick with the 17s i highly recommend 285\70\17s. i had this size on my stock 17s and loved them. i had the bf goodrich all terrain t\a. they lasted 70k miles or so and still have some life left in them. great tires, just giving you some ideas.
