Tire/wheel size on stock 2500

FNG here! I just picked up my new '05 2500 4x4, Ram diesel. Love it. However, I'm looking to swap out the stock all season tires and polished rims. How big/wide can I go without a lift. (Within Reason) It seems the clearance is there. I'm looking at 31-33" x 10" BF Goodrich A/T's. I have no idea what rims to get yet. Readers rides with pics would be awsome! Thanks in advance!

Matt

33's fit perfect. 35's fit some trucks perfectly and rub slightly on others. Stock rims are ok for either tire.

315's are like a 35"tire, you must how ever stay with 17"rims, or larger, went through that already, when my local 4x4 shop told me that 16" would fit.........not a chance.
i have 315's with a leveling kit up front, no rub yet. i bought some 17"x9" eagles, and they seem to stick out farther, so i haven't run them yet. i think that they are going to rub, as the back spacing is 1/2 " less, and the rims are 1" wider, will have to see.

315/70/16 is a 35" tire
305/70/16 is a 33" tire

Terra Grabblers have a 325/60/18 that I think would look awesome on that truck. Get some Helo Maxx8 rims...
