Sorry guys. I'm new to trucks and the whole wheel and tire size. I'm trying to get an aggressive stance look on a 2015 ram 1500. I plan to do a 4 inch spindle lift in front and a 1.5 in the rear. I'm trying to figure out the wheel and tire package size I need to get a better look and have the tires flare out a little past the fender walls. Where do I begin?

Do you want mud tires? or all terrain tires?

Mud tires will look more aggressive, be heavier and get less mpg but will be able to handle offroad situations. AT tires will be less aggressive looking, a little better mpg and a little less offroad capability.

What size tire do you want? i would go with a 35", no less than a 34"
12.5" wide and whatever size rim you decide to go with.

Now for the rim decide the size but id stick with a 9-10" wide rim. Youll want an offset of at least -12. If you cant find the rim you want with that offset you can go with BORA wheels spacers. I think they have 1" to 2.5"

But its mostly personal on how far you want your wheels sticking out and youll have to start somewhere to know where you want to end up

you would be better off picking your lift kit first. different kits require different back spacing on the wheels. have to have to buy them now, then have to re-buy them later

The "exterior" section has two stickied threads about the wheels and tires that I found super useful.
