Default Tire Upgrade

So I want to get a little beefier height and little wider tire on my 2013 1500 Tradesman but want to keep it at factory height. What is the biggest size tire I can use with no rub. I tried to do some research but the tire websites just want to give me stock size.

Go to discount tire, they give you optional sizes.

This is a good tire size comparison site. Its a little older, and only works in Internet Explorer or Safari because it uses Java plugins which Chrome and soon Firefox are getting rid of. Its not for specific brands or selling tires, it just lets you put in the tire specs and lets you compare.

height really isn't too much of an issues as width... i think 11.5" wide tire is about the max on stock rims.. a leveling kit and different rims would allow for 35"-12.5 r20... a 285 of 295 should be good

So did some more research and am looking at 285-65 R17 (stock rims) Anyone have pics of a ram with those tires on it? I may ad a 2" front level kit for like $200 to make the stance a little meaner.

$200 is way to much for a leveling kit!!!
