Default 2011 Tire Size Questions

Hello everyone,

So, I'm currently running some LT285/70/17 Cooper ATP's on my 2011 Ram Crew Cab 2500 4x4 Cummins. These tires look good and ride well but this is the largest tire Cooper ATP's offer for a 17 inch wheel. I'm looking to replace these tires in the next few months and would like to go to a larger size tire and possibly more aggressive but still keep the factory steel 17" wheels.

So my question, what is the largest tire folks have been able to run on the stock wheels without having to get a lift for the 2500 Cummins Ram 2500's? My truck has a leveling kit on it or at least I think it does because the front and the rear of the truck looks completely level.

Thanks for your help!

Ken

If it's level you can run up to a 35" x 12.5" tire. Lots of choices out there even in a load range E...

Do you have a listing for 18" stock aluminum wheels on my 16 2500 4x4 with front level kit.

Check some of the aftermarket companies. I KNOW there is one out there that makes steps for lifted trucks. Something like a powered step would be perfect for you.

Opps, sorry I thought it was. It can certainly be moved or deleted.
