Default Tire Question, Help!

I just installed the leveling kit on my 03 2wd QC Ram 1500, and am looking to get a set of bigger tires. Was wondering what the stock wheels limit my tire size to? In other words, what is the biggest tire that I can put on my truck with the stock wheels? Was wondering if anyone had any pictures of their bigger tires on the stock wheels, thanks!

Here's my '06 3500 with 35x12.50's on the 17x8 stock wheels. I have the leveling kit, haven't installed it yet though.

Bone stock right now. I'm putting on the KORE kit, which bumps the front end up about 2.5", later this week. It will rub right now if I turn the wheel all the way, but once I get the front up that 2.5", shouldn't be any issues. Even now, it's only the ***** of the tires on the corners of the fenders at full wheel lock either way.

Ah, it's a 4x4, that's how you fit it.. I dont think I can fit a 35" tire under my 2wd even with the leveler kit.

Remember that the Heavy Duty Ram's sit higher stock anyway. I think it has to do with the natural spring and frame configuration... especially if its 4x4. I can't see the need for 35's on a 2WD though. But who am I to judge, I've done a lot of stuff that doesn't need to be done, hahaha.
