tire size question ......

[coolbikeguy]

i was riding motorcycle through delaware 2 sat. ago when a black 3rd gen ram caught my eye. we both exited the same off ramp so i made sure to get as close as i could to see what size tires he was running ... he had ... 35 12.5 17's and it looked awesome ..... what would be an equal tire size to put n my factory 20 inch rims to give the same look ? or will the 12.5 tire not fit on a stock rim ? also .... i would consider looking for a set of 17 inch rims but i have no idea on back spacing and all that other stuff. his truck did not look lifted but those 35's looked awesome. thanks all for your help

If you have a 4-wheel drive, all you have to do is crank your torsion bars, and 35 12.50 20 will fit fine on your stock rims. You may have slight rub at full lock turning, or if you completely bottom out the suspension, but nothing to cause any damage.

This guy here has you covered. And a set of spacers could fix some of the rubbing problems you'll get running a stock rim.
