RE: body lift - 5/5/2008 4:07:06 AM    JasonA Posts: 348 Joined: 3/24/2008 Status: offline Maybe.  I have 32x11.50 on a 3" body lift on my '97 2WD.  But they're all coming off soon...going back to stock.  I can tell you the 11.50s rub pretty hard on the frame when steering...and it doesn't have to be at full steering lock either...just close.  The 12.50s will really rub the frame. _____________________________ 1997 Dodge Dakota Sport Club Cab 5.2L V-8 / 44RE / Emerald Green Pearl 255/70R15 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s Flowmaster 40-series Dual Exhaust Pioneer DEH-2900/Sirius Stratus Receiver (in reply to fireboltott) Post #: 2

The alloy ones do. Not sure which ones you have but most came with those. _____________________________ dakotaramwire.com (in reply to JasonA) Post #: 3

RE: body lift - 5/5/2008 10:52:46 AM    JasonA Posts: 348 Joined: 3/24/2008 Status: offline Ours are alloy wheels, Varsis.  I did just buy some of the OE 15x8 wheels, and it appears that the backspacing is similar to the 15x7 wheels.  Even still, that puts more tire away from the frame than the 15x7 wheels do.  I don't think they used our 15x7 wheels past about 1998 or 1999. _____________________________ 1997 Dodge Dakota Sport Club Cab 5.2L V-8 / 44RE / Emerald Green Pearl 255/70R15 Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s Flowmaster 40-series Dual Exhaust Pioneer DEH-2900/Sirius Stratus Receiver (in reply to varsis) Post #: 4
