Can anyone tell me what the largest tire is that will fit a 3500 4x4 without scrubbing?<br><br>Thanks

 

There are lots of discussions on this subject. Search on tire size or just look around. You will find lots on information. This has been a popular question with plenty of discussion. <br><br>I copied the following statement. &quot;Up to a BFG All Terrain 315/70-R17 fits on the stock 17x8&quot; wheels with no clearance problems.&quot;

 

Thanks. I've done a search and found lots about size but all I saw included lifts. I'm looking at the 03 HO and debating 3.73/4.10. I thinking that with 34s and the 4.10 my rpms would be in the stock 3.73 range and I'd still have the option of stock size and grunt pulling. I was just about asleep though so I'll look again.

I guess I should have put this in the other 03 disscussion. New to site and soon to be new to Dodge. Maybe Okiebroncrider would move it.

 

???does anyone know if you can go back to 16&quot; wheels for a greater selection of tires? I have noticed that 17&quot; tire selesction is very limited in a heavy load range tire. Thanks.<br> Jason

My truck is at stock ride heighth and clearance is fine (at least 1&quot; at full lock). I havn't pulled with it yet but so far its a good combo. Your right --- the 34.5&quot; tires puts the 4.10 ratio back very close to 3.73.

 

Badbowtie,<br><br>Somewhere in the forum I have read that due to the size of the brakes you cannot use 16 inch wheels.<br><br>Drafter

 

Soccer01, thats great to hear. <br><br>Three questions 1) Is yours 4x4? I'm guessing it is. 2) Are the rims stock too. And 3) How are those BFGs in gumbo, self cleaning voids? <br><br>Thanks

 

Yes --- My truck is 4x4 with the stock aluminum rims. I haven't been in deep mud yet but they seem to do well on muddy dirt roads and washes. If you can find it --- I posted some pictures back on November 27 that will show you how the BFGs look. Also, Utah has some pics of his truck posted on this forum with the same tire.

 

Actually the thread with my pictures was last posted to about Dec 12 and is titled ----Pics of my new truck. « 1 2 »

SUWEET ;D

 

been outa touch a couple of days<br><br>Rightous looking truck.<br><br>Are those wheels the aluminum or std steel?

 

They are the optional 17x8&quot; aluminum wheels. I have the same, which are included in the Laramie package.

 

I have a 2003 SLT SWB 2500 4X4 with BFG All Terrain T/As 315/70R17s on stock rims and have no problems. It has been off road in snow and dirt and has fantastic traction.

 

LBT, how're those tires on the road? Do they make a lot of noise? How's on-road traction? I'll be interested in upsizing in a year or so when I've worn out the stock Michelins (though I already put a nail thru one of'm! :). Thanks!
