post some 315s or bigger on stock wheels

Want to get 315s but might just leave my wheels stock. Anyone who's got 315s or even 325s on stock wheels, post some pics.

I just put 315's on my stock chrome clad wheels on my 06 megacab. If it ever would stop raining here in Ohio, I'll pull it out for a pic. Right now it's all cleaned up & sitting in the garage.(since wednesday).

I am in Columbus and I here you. My Megacab Dually is still at the dealership, while I wait for my H2 to returned to stock before I trade it in and it WILL NOT STOP RAINING!!!!

What kind of Megacab do you have ? Any lift? Rubbing?

2500 Mega 4X4 with the cummins & auto. No lift, but a set of timbrens on the rear for loading/trailering use. The 315's I had on my 04.5 (on the stock rims) rubbed a little on tight lock to lock turns in tight parking lot manuvers, but never enough to damage either the truck or the tires. I just put the 315's on the new truck wednesday morning, but didn't have any rubbing issues in the limited amount of driving I've done so far. I love the looks of the tires on the truck........they fill the wheel wells just the right amount & make the truck look like it has the RIGHT size tires on it.

I hear you. Why Dodge puts these PUNY tires on these heavy beasts is beyond me. My H2 AT LEAST came with 35x12.50!!! And you are right, our BLACK trucks do not like waterspots, but more importantly, whilst the trucks may be waterproof, my digital camera is not!

Do a search. This has been covered many times for a couple of years. Lots of pix and lots of comments.

1. Do you have a 2" leveling kit?
2. Are those chrome grills just inserts and go over the stock honeycomb grille?

I ran them with the stock wheels and suspension for 20K, so no. Just some control arm rub as posted above. I got rid of that with the suspension lift. Thinking of 37s now.

Its all good

I do prefer the MTs over the ATs. I have had ATs on the last two trucks and they pick up every rock and ping them against the side of the truck. I decided to go with the MTs for that main reason. I do not regret it at all. They ride good and I get allot of complements on the tires.

Sounds good....
I have a HBS 2 inch leveling kit also waiting here.......
Have to check the issues with it at the dealership (dont want to put it in and have them tell me it kills the warranty) but just knowing I can take off the skinny little tires it comes with and load up some nice 315's makes a big diff.
