I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 slt 4.7... i had 285/70/17 on it and it just didn't look right, looked like a 400lb chick with size 5 shoes just didn't work. So I ordered a pair of kanati mud hogs 35x12.5x17. True size is more like 34.7x12.3x17 and they fit with room to spare. I am not a huge fan of oversized tires on stock height but it actually looks a hell of a lot better than i expected. At full lock in reverse I rub but not bad at all. Torsion bars cranked up so the truck sits level, and i have 2" wheel spacers. You would be fine with 1.5" spacers though. Obviously clearance issues limit the capabilities of offroading but as a daily driver and the occasional mud hole it works out great. I will post pics soon!

My girlfriend ran 35 on her 2500 bone stock with a little bit of rubbing and I've seen 37s stuffed on stock 2500/3500 even

lol..he is using stock wheels so his wheels are not pushed out like yours are. 02-05's were great with the torsion bars that you could easily run 35's on stock wheels with just leveling the front
