So I have a 03 ram 1500 with 2" keys in already would like to put on a 3" body lift how big of a tire can I fit i already have on the truck 285/75/17 coopers on thoughts

 

If it's 4wd the fit with just leveling.

 

Ok, I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 mega cab 2wd and I am wanting to put cst suspension 6.5" lift. At the moment, I want to leave my stock wheels, to save money and buy 35x12.5r17 for it. I was told in the description of the cst lift, that you would need to get at least 1.25" wheel spacers if you are staying with stock rims. I want to know what y'all think about that if there would be rubbing issues...? Also, would you space all 4 tires? And I guess that 37x12.5r17 would be too much? Pics or info would be great! I do plan on replacing the front bumper for added clearance... later on

 

IMO wheel spacers are trouble. Buy the correct rims. 37 are alot of tire. I hope you plane on re gearing.

 

So what after market rims would you prefer? I'm new to this, and I know there's a lot to the offsets, back spacing, etc... I know they said for a max of 5" backspacing... I guess a certain amount of backspacing would take care of the spacing issue for rubbing?

 

Yes on the back spacing I believe it's 4-4.5. Most tire shops have a guide to let you know if they will fit. As far as brand depends if your on road. Off road or both. You will want a rim with the correct load rating. That is stamped into the backside of the rim.

 

Ok, thank you for the info.

 

NP. FYI you can find nice rims for under $200.00 each.
