does anybody have a12.50" tire on a factory rim? I was thinking of upgrading to Mickey Thompson tires and wanted to go to a 33x12.50x17 tire and was goign to try to hold of on new rims for a month or 2. Will this iven fit on a stock rim or will i need different backspacing?

 

As far as I know they won't fit. You'll need a rim with 4.5" backspacing for 12.50 tires to fit.

 

I used to have my 35x12.5-17's on my stock rims for about 3 months before I got my new wheels. Yes they fit fine, luckily our Dodges come with 8" wheels.. 12.5 is as big as you can go on an 8" wheel.

 

which tire i have the MTZ's they are tuff man go through about anything only be stuck once and it was DEEEP i had to dig 8inchs to get my hitch and they dig like a bastard

 

Actually it is the Mickey Thompson MTZ's that i was looking to buy

 

they are a heavy *** tire i can tell you that and if your gonna being alot of play in the goo deflate them a bit i learned the hard way but they are SWEET

 

Here take a look at my gallery, I have 33x12.50x17's on my 05

 

cable guy have you ever had anyproblems with rubbing on the front tires?

 

HANSONHVAC,

They have never rubbed one time since I have had them installed.I have a 2005 Quad cab too if that makes a difference.
I'll tell you what though, there darn close to the camber I think they call it right on the inside of the tire, I saw that when I was installing new shocks, I said WOW thats a close fit LOL

Hey I was just looking at your gallery I saw you have a newer ram then on the preview window, Man you need to get that baby updated!! haha

 

My factory tires even look like they are going to rub on that.... i think its just a really close design

Yeah i do need to get that updated... i was waiting til this weekend when my hood scoops and mud flaps are on so i can take some better pictures... you have a really good looking truck by the way
