Anyone running 35's on your stock 17's? 1500 ram

[ssteadman09]

I have a leveling kit on my 2009 ram 1500.. Im wondering if a 315/70r17 will fit without any wheel spacers on my truck. Stock 17x7.5" wheels. Please help. Thanks in advance.

WOW that's a big tire on a skinny rim. I would never do it, but I am not one to take chances.

Check out Glocknram's old outdoorsman, he did it without wheel spacers too http://www.ramforum.com/f17/my_old_outdoorsman-25096/

can it be done? yeah it can but you'll get a lot of bulge and a lot of tire shops will try to steer you from it. i have heard it puts a lot of stress on the bead of the wheel/tire seal.

i tried a 33x12.50 on my factory 17s and it just didn't look safe, but i ran it while i waited for my new wheels to show up. went with a 9'' wheel and its much better.

35's for stock steel Rim is Ok, 1/4" Spacers for extra clearance to upper Arms and to assist for the Overall added 5" of Lift. Chrome Rings are in Tight and no worry of scraping them (Yeh a Bit Bulgy but My Tire Shop which handles Tons of Lifted/Fat Tire Trucks looked up the Tire specs and the rim is within the recommended width (In the Brand I chose) otherwise would have refused to do it even for a Favorite customer like me. IMO 315's are a tad skinnier but not by Much and may work Better. Alot of HD Guys run those on the 17's Aluminum/Cast/Whatever here in the Oil Patch, not much talk of Rolling a Bead (BFG's do That cause of the thin Sidewalls. My Tires are 35x12.50x 17 Fierce Attitudes with 50 PSI Maxed (Nitrogen).

Some day I may decide to get some 9" Rims.
