33" on a stock rim with a 2" front leveling kit is the max. If you want to go to a 35" tire you will need a lift kit. Also the stock rims would be at the minimum as far as the with goes.

I'm running 35x12.50's on stock rims with a leveling kit - works fine. I was worried about the width of the tire on this narrow wheel, but it looks and works great.

I ran 315x70r17s on the stock aluminum rims on my 04.5 2500...only a very slight rub on the lower control arm.

I had no lift.

35's will fit with a 2" leveling kit, but if you have the wheel turned hard and bottom out, you will hit. 33/12.50 is as big as you can go and have no potential to hit or rub anything. that is getting a little iffy with 17x7.5 rims, but it should be OK

Factory aluminum 17s are almost 9" wide...they fit the 12.50" wide tires fine.

You can fit 35x12.5x17 on the stock dodge rim and to be honest, the only rubbing I had was on the control arms without the leveling kit. I'm running BFG M/T in that size and didn't have the leveling kit on for about a week prior to getting it . . . . I have to admit though, the leveling kit makes the truck look A LOT nicer. Don't forget, if you get the leveling kit, you need new shocks (there's not enough room left in the stock ones).
