Yeah they will fit, im pretty sure that they are 31"+ from the factory, but I could be wrong.  I have 32" tires on mine now.  They fit on the truck with stock ride height. 265/75 is a good size, its a tad under 32" i think.

I'm thinking of putting on a 2" leveling kit and trying to get 285's on, I think they would be pretty big tires, my dad has 275's on 20's on his Ram and they look big, his Ram also dwarf's my Dak...

anyone level their Dak and put on 275 or 285s without any rubbing, or do u have to do some trimming?

So when are you going to post pics of your truck 4x4?

I've been torn on this subject for months now and I still can't decide what to run. No matter what, the tires will have to stay on the stock rims since I can't afford both. Like Monkey said, I think 265's would look good enough without modding, but I haven't seen one with them mounted. Monkey, do you still have your front and side pics of your truck? If so, can you repost them please, since you are running the closest to that size, or anyone else. Once I get this solved then I still have to pick which tire company!! Anyone  running the Uniroyal Liberator A/T's or the General Grabber AT2's? I think that's what I'll be going with. Thanks!!

285's wont fit without a 3" body lift! i have a 3" lift + leveling kit  and 33's  just fit (rub on full crank due to backspacing of my rims)

Bkjtimp is running the Grabber AT2s, I think they're 31's.  He has some pics in his gallery here: http://www.dodgeforum.com/albumphoto.asp?albumid=862&asortType=1&apage=1

Yeah they will fit, im pretty sure that they are 31"+ from the factory, but I could be wrong.  I have 32" tires on mine now.  They fit on the truck with stock ride height. 265/75 is a good size, its a tad under 32" i think.
According to TireRack, stock size is 245/70/16 and 29.5"

A 245/70/16 is not only narrower but also shorter than a 275/70/16.  The tires are 245mm and 275mm wide.  They are 245*70%=171.5mm tall
and
275*70%=192.5. 

That's [(171.5/25.40*2]+16=29.5039"
and
[(192.5/25.4)*2]+16=31.15748".

Those two tires are NOT the same size.  Will it rub?  I've no clue but don't argue with the math.

Had the AT2's for a few months now and they haven't let me down.  They have little additional road noise, but have great curb appeal!  Aggressive, sure footed in the rain, not really off-roaded with them, but I would imagine they'd hook up really well.  For sure they'll be much better this winter in the snow from the stock Eagle GS pos that came from factory.
