Default non-lifted tire size?

How big can I go with my 05 Ram Hemi 4x4? I'm only going to get the front lifted level with the back. I was looking at 305-70-17's or 285-70-17's with 17x9 rims. There seems to be a lot of room with the stock 265-70-17's. Any Suggestions/pics? Thanks

There is a member on here with 305/70/17's on a stock ram with stock wheels. From what I've read they amount to about 34" tall and from the pics i've seen of his truck they fit just fine. Problem is there isn't to many companies that make a 305/70. The only ones i've found is maxxis and goodyear if your looking for a mud terrain. The 285's will definatly fit without any problems..

you have 285's on? if so do you have pics? i'm thinking about going with the BFG AT/KO 285/70/17 and wanna know how well it'll fill up the wheel well ... i'm also thinking about doing the leveling kit

btw ... i have an '03 1500 QC

No I dont't have 285's but I have seen them and they fill the wheels wells quite nicely although the 305's are even better. I still have the stock 20" with 275/60's which according to the goodyear website they amount to 33". I think when the time comes to get new tires I'm going to crank the torsion bars and go a size bigger.

You can fit up to a 35x12.5 with only cranking the torsion bars. I had them on mine and never rubbed once.

think that's the same on a 17" rim and a 2-wheel drive with a leveling kit?

Denniscasey, were the 35's not rubbing before or after your body lift?

I have a 04 2wd. What is the largest tire I can put on? Only a 265 or can a 285 fit?
