Default How big can I go?

I'm looking to get a set of offroad tires/wheels for my 03 Ram. I have the stock 20's now.

What is the total diameter/width of a tire that I can go without any rubbing or trimming on stock suspension?

well the 275/60/R20 is a 33" overall diameter. So Im assuming that 33 is has tall as you could go. But Im not 100% sure I just got my dodge and kinda new to the dodge truck scene so I dont know exactly what they can do.

I am planning on 35 x 12.5's. I measured at all turning angles with and without the suspension compressed.

Here's my 3500 with 35x12.50's on 17's before I got the lift on.

I think 285 on a stock 1500 might be about it. I have my bars turned a little an thats what I am getting after my Forteras run out.
