Default Will they fit?

I have a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4 quad cab diesel. I want to know if 35" tires will fit the front end if the height is still stock. Or if they would fit with the 2" leveling kit under the front end. It looks like there is plenty of room in the rear wheel wells, just not sure of turning with the front ones. If anyone has tried or knows that would be great.

Thanks

We have 315/70r17s an my friends 3500 diesel and it clears them fine leveled. Depending on tire tho some may rub slightly on front end components when turning

What tire does your diesel friend have in that size? Load range E? Stock rims? I am looking for tires and wheels myself in the 34" to 35" diameter. Thanks much!

He has run BFG All terrains, Hankooks, and Nittos. All Are load range E on the stock chrome 5 spoke steel wheels. Depending where you are the law will probably make you put fender flares on because they stick out a fair bit.

I had 35x12.5 r17 BF Goodrich All Terrains, stock 17" dodge rims, on a stock 1500 with NO rubbing what so ever... it looked like the tires were stuffed in there but they still fit... You can do it on your stock 2500 but I would probably level it out just so it looks better

I put 35 12.50 17 Big 0 tires on my stock 17's, with no leveling kit. They will rub when you turn all the way and when you get the front end in a bind, one side higher then the other. They are also used, traded a guy straight across for my stock ones.
