Tallest tire? - Competition Diesel.Com

srt cummins · 08-13-2013, 10:48 PM

I'm trying to figure out what the tallest tire I can run on my 3500 srw?
Rims are 19.5x7.5"

Tire choices are

245/70: 33.6" tall
265/70: 34.5" tall
286/70: 35.4"tall

Would a leveling kit be enough for the 35's?

I ran 19.5s for 105k using Bridgestone R250
265/70 x 19.5” 34.4” diam.

Did not do anything to my truck in regard to lift. Stock height.. I had the Rickson 19.5 forged alum rims. The offset they had on these worked great. The tires were fairly narrow and I think that is why they worked so well.

Just received my 2013 3500 ram mega cab. I had tires from 4.5 2500 315/70/17 bf goodrich at ko on 9 inch, wide 0 offset rims. The 34.5 inch tall tires just did rub inner fender near bottom with the wheel cranked all the way.
I'm putting 325/60/18 on 9 inch wide , -13 mm offset rims. the are 33.5 inch tall.They should clear. No leveling kit just stock....
