Default WTB tires for my 2005 Ram - 17" rims

I got my first dodge ram a few weeks ago, and it has TINY goodyear tires on it. I need to find some bigger tires to stick on it to make it look a little better. Don't have the money right now to buy 20" rims and tires, so I am just taking a shot on the tread.

I have no idea what the largest size is I can fit on the truck, so if anyone knows, please enlighten me. No lift or anything. Just stock 17's on it right now. Pics would be appreciated.

Look at 285/70 as they approximate the diameter of the 275/60R20. Some have gone as large as 295 and 305, but you hear stories of "slight rubbing at full turn" and similar situations. Additionally, if you have the 3.55 rear, you do not want to go larger without a gear swap.

The 2005 is a good year, identical to my 04. Just watch the rearend if you have LSD and the power steering hoses (the cheap clamps cause leaks, a 50 cent fix).
