I have ram 2500 4x4 with a air ride bag suspension kit in the rear and a leveling kit in the front. I have 265/75 R16 tires on there now. What is the biggest size tire I can fit on there without rubbing?
I have a 2004 2500 4X4 with a leveling kit in front and I run 12.50 X 35 on mine with no rub at all. Stock 17" rims. (2" leveling spacers). I got a set of 18" rims cheap. Now I have to find a decent 35" tire in 18". Thinking of FC2's.
HuskyMudder, See Geezir reply that is max size tires for stock suspension with slight rubbing at full steer locations. Had ProComp 305/65/17 no issue what so ever. If my tire would have been a 70s Series they would have rubbed. Anything larger then those you'll need to upgrade your stock suspension. Currently running ProComp 285/70/17 All terrains very good tire, will give more then 55K miles with good rotation schedule.
i noticed you asked about back spaceing and i dont think anyone told you what it is back spaceing is how far the rim sits away from or closer to the hub or spindle this is achived by moveing the center of the rim where it mounts either forward or back if you look around at rims you will see the spokes either right out at the from lips or they sit back in giveing a deep dish look but when chooseing back spacing you also have to take notice of local laws because some areas wont let the tires stick past the body of the truck unless fender flares are added good luck with the tires sure what ever you pick will look sweet send a pic when you decide
