I got a 1996 Dodge Ram 1500 Duel Cab 2x4 Pickup and I want to replace the factory size tires(225/75R16) to it. Can I put on 305/70R16 tires on it without a lift on it. I like those wide tires so which wide tires would fit without a lift or a drop on the truck?

i think that tire might be too big , but check this out , open your drivers door and check the vin sticker , it should have an optional tire size on it

Thank you for the feedback but the 225/70R16 tire size is the only option on the vin sticker. Is there any other wide tires to fit the truck without a lift or a drop?

Thanks again

235/55/16 will drop it down and be much wider if i remember right they are about 8 inches wide on the tread , check on tirerack.com pull one up and check out the specs aginst the tire your running , oh and they atre avail in h rated , is you wat to go even wider you could do the 245/50/16

I made a mistake, the tires I got on the truck right now is 255/75R16 not 225/75R16. I'm sorry about that. So is possible to put on 305/50R16 on it than? Thanks again for your time.
