Default Biggest tires I can get on Ram 1500

I am new to the site and I am not sure if I am posting in the correct place, but here is my question.

What is the biggest tire I can put on a 2013 Ram 1500 without lift, offset, or offset rims? I will be purchasing new rims with bead lockers. I would prefer a wider tire first and then height as I will be using them in the sand and a 1000 mile commute to/from the beach. These will not be my daily driver tires.

If someone has already posted this, then please provide a link. Thanks.

Yes. It is a day and a half drive for me. I need to move closer some day.

How wide can you go? 12s 12.5s?

Honestly, I wouldn't even go that wide. lol
It's a really tight fit. Most level the trucks to fit 33's. You might go 285/70 instead.

You gotta remember, the wider you go the more you'll rub. To run a tire that wide you'll need more backspacing (I think, I'm not learn-ed on my wheel stuffs. ) on your wheels. Which will make them stick out, but will help you to not rub.

They do, I just put a new set on in that size and they don't have any fitment issues. Some tires com in 285/75R17 too and those will fit also. Seen some folks talk about the 295/70R17 but that's squeezing a little too much tire n the 7" wide rim for me.
