Dodge 2nd Gen Wheel Question

[redthies]

Is anybody running 35" tires on the factory alloy wheels on 2nd gen Dodge 2500s? I would guess there will be some rubbing depending on tread width. Thoughts? Pics? Thanks, James

ive got 34x12.50x16 on factory rims, i have 1/4" spacer and i barely rub the lower control arm.

the bad thing with the unit bearings is that when you run a thicker spacer it will wear the hubs down faster.

this is all with a 2" level kit up front though, made a big difference. I am going to run 35"s next and get them 35x10.5"x16 this should keep rubbing to a minimum.

I have a 2" leveler... Who makes a 35-10.50R16?

Interco/Super Swamper makes them in that size

315/75-16s on 2nd gen factory forged rims....

I rub at lock. I pondered getting hub spacers. I think the best thing would be some aftermarket tubular arms... longer while we're at it......

Just my thoughts....

I am running BFG AT 295/75 16s on the factory wheels on my '01 CTD with a leveling kit. They are slightly shorter and a lot skinnier than a 315. I only have a very slight rub on the lower control arms. I think it is a great tire size for these trucks. Check out these pics and see what you think. http://www.flickr.com/photos/29877403@N03/4819524968/in/set-72157624435993961
