Hi everyone, I have a question regarding rims and tires for my 1998 dodge ram 1500 extend cab, 4x4. I want to get my truck to have a little bit of everything, better capability for light offroading, a taller truck, and a B.A. look. So I was wondering what I can do in order to make a taller and look better with some beffier tires but nothing extreme. What could I get bigger on the stock rims without a lift? With say a small body lift, could I get something bigger on the same rims or just get new rims. As you can sort of see I'm not big with info on tires and all so I figured I would ask. If I was to buy things I wouldn't go on an overkill price, something good but not expensive. And also, tires that I could drive year round in all conditions, so no huge studded swampers. If anyone has any suggestions or could answer my questions I would greatly appricate that.

Thanks,
Mike.

 

Hey check out the BF Goodrich Radial Mud Terrains. They've got that super agressive offroad/mudder look (and are VERY capable offroad), but they're radials and are streetable as well. The best of both worlds! Plus, they're not very expensive (around 150 per tire)

 

i got brand new 35's bfgoodrich all terrain tko's and 17in weld racing rims for sell if anyone is interested.... was gonna lift my truck up, but gas prices screwed everything up for me, so im selling stuff for cheap....

 

If I was to get the BFGoodrich Radial Mud Terrian tires, then is it possible to get then the size to fit on the stock alloy rims that come with my truck. I want something bigger than the tires I have now which are Firestone Wilderness A/T, size LT265/75/R16. What is the biggest size I could fit without a lift kit,or maybe just a slight body lift, say 1-2 or at the most 3 inches.

 

For those specifics you'll hafta wait till one of the guys who really knows his specs on your year of truck to put in his 0.02...which is just a matter fo time b/c I dont have a clue, however, check out this sizing guide, may give you some answers. Sizing Guide

 

Well I have 17 inch rims and 33X12.5 on my truck. No lift and no rubbing. I have a 04 Ram quad cab but another poster here had a 98 Ram and was told this would fit on his truck. I do like the BF mud terrain idea but if that is not your cup-o-tea the same company makes good AT tires too.

 

my 95 ram ext cab fit 285x75x16 stock...w/o the leveling kit...
after the leveling kit im sure i could clear 33's.

 

I have BFG M/T 285/70R17 on my '02 1500. Pics are in the gallery. Still have about 1.5" clearance when I do lock to lock on the steering.
