Hello everyone, i have a 07 ram 1500 laramie 4x4 and i plan on getting new tires/ rims for the truck without lifting.

4x4 or RWD makes a difference

4wd is factory 1" taller than RWD being why. And I believe it's 33" tires but you might crank yours keys a tad to level out a lil. I wouldn't level it out you'll max out your shocks and it'll ride rough

I have stock height, but I also have 2" spacers. With this I fit 285/70/r17s. I have Goodyear AT Adventures with Kevlar. To me, it has the perfect amount of upper gap in the front, but would also still look good with leveling.


I am not sure if there would be rubbing issues with turning without the 2" spacers, but height wise, it fits easily.

Here is my truck as it sits:

EDITED: Mine is a 4wd, 5spd

I am running 34x11.50 on a 17x9 zero offset without a level or lift. I have zero rubbing at full lock and articulated off road.04b15d4f28420a5173b909e40f4fca6d.jpg

Yea I was a bit nervous when I ordered them because I wasn't sure it was gonna work, but I'm pleasantly surprised. I'll likely get it leveled next spring, but it's working great right now and I like the stuffed look it gives.
Here are some daytime pics I forgot I had on another post

Also keep the fact that I have AT tires (that do incredible off road btw) and not huge knobby MT tires. Big knobby tires will have even less clearance
