ok the main question is what is the biggest wheel and tire combo i can get on a stock 05 2500?

i would like 35's and i want them to stick out a bit (just like the way it looks)

also what size rim?

thanks
Casey

 

backspace backspace backspace.

Rim size is not important. you can run up to 35" tall tires on stock rims ( toyo MT's with minor rubbing)

No rubbing with the same size tire- you will need a 9" rim with a +25mm offset ( 5.98" of backspacing. I was fit up with my tire combo but in the +15mm ( 5.39" offset) and it rubbed. I have no fitment issues-no cutting or rubbing.

You can't have too wide of a rim with too little offset. it won't fit without rubbing.

 

I have 35/12.50/17 Interco Vortracs on H2 wheels with stock suspension and they stick out probably 3/4-1" and only rub when backing up and turning. Even then its just barely on the mud flap. Im going to get a leveling kit as soon as I decide which one. They look good and ride real quiet.

 

I have the same tires and rims he does on my leveled truck. The tires come VERY close to my fenders behind the tires, about 1/4" and that's with my lower control arm bushing maxed out so I'm kinda surprised TX's tires are hitting the fenders. Mine DO rub the mudflaps when turned hard.

The tires stick out too much for my liking, they throw crap all over the side of my truck, especially when off road so I\m putting some flares on with clear 3M coating under them so they don't eat through the paint.

 

Mine are only hitting the mudflap also. They just barely rub and only if backing up or turning forward sharp too fast.
heres how they stick out in the back:

 

TX, had yours in any mud or gravel since you put the Vortracs on?

 

I had my last set in mud but not to actually do anything, just driving through a dirt lot. They loaded up real quick but I was going slow. I hope that in the future if I NEED them to work for me that they will clean out with some wheel speed.

 

Tx, I was talkin bout how much mud and crap get thrown onto your truck with the tires stickin out.
