John,
I am running my stock rims and have Wrangler GSA 245/70's on them. I also
have a set of factory Dakota mud flaps. Between the tire and flap there is
1/4" clearance worse case when turning. I do however rub the frame slightly
when locking the steering full radius. (So I avoid doing this.)
You didn't mention the series you are running. If your looking for a little
more clearance, you might look at raising you series as opposed to changing
the profile.

Subject: DML: Tire Question

I am getting ready to stick some new shoes on my '96 Dakota. Does anyone
know what the maximum size tire that can be mounted on this model without a
lift or anything. I would like to get something a little bigger than the
P235's that are on there now, but don't want something too big for the
truck.

thanks in advance,

John
