38''x 14.50''
 
Will 38x14.50 toyos fit under a 95 ctd with a 5'' lift?

CumminsCrazed 11-11-2007 05:51 PM

doubt it.....

Monster Truck 11-11-2007 05:55 PM

It seems like they might since we can fit 35s with just a leveling kit. Theres a guy around here that claims to have a 5'' lift and he has 40s under it but Im not sure how wide they are.

LOGANSTANFORTH 11-11-2007 06:29 PM

if you dont like the bottoms of your fenders and bumper then yes you can fit 38's just fine.

Boz 11-12-2007 08:08 PM

Its not the height, its the width. You could fit a 38 if it was 13.5 or less inches wide but not any bigger.

Monster Truck 11-13-2007 12:26 AM

I was just talking to a local guy here, he has a 95 ext cab long bed with the v 10 and he has a 5'' lift with 39.5sx15 and he scrubs alil when he turns hard.

NukleusX 11-13-2007 12:35 AM

man today i seen a SEXY f-250 single cab long box when i was on lunch, was white like my truck, with a 7.3 tho rebadged with 6.0 emblems, lifted i would guess bout 4-6" total, running on 315/75s, and I do say, i wish my second gen dodge could look that pretty. That ford knew what was up, and was a pretty good lookin truck. Ill get pics up as soon as I can-

sorry to go off topic at all-

BSouth 12-09-2007 11:46 PM

I have 10" of lift and can fit a 41" x14.5" tire. I doubt with 5" of lift you could fit a 14.5" tire unless the wheels are stickn out.

Monster Truck 12-10-2007 10:58 AM

Ya she has got 39.5x15s on here 94 2500 with a v10 and 5'' of lift. rubs alil at full lock.

9712valve 01-22-2008 11:41 PM

38x14.50 $$$$ those tires cost more than a 7" lift from skyjacker if your talking about mud terrains. pics of your truck to see it with 35's?

Depends on your willingness to use the chop saw, but I dont see that big of tire to be practical my any means for a daily driver.

BigGreenMonster 04-14-2008 09:27 PM

a 3rd gen here has a 6" lift and he rubs with the 38's. i think the 3rd gens fit bigger tires because the wheel wells are round. i have around 10" of lift and the front axle is 2" forward on my 96 "1/2 ton" with 39.5 x 15.50's. i think it will depend on how much rub bothers you.

ocwheelz 05-12-2008 03:04 PM

One of problems is the control arms, not just width. You need to reposition the axle forward. Not all Lift kits do this properly. It might also help to run a negative offset wheel.
With a set of good control arms and the Negative offset Custom wheel you should be able to run those tires.

You can fit 38in tall tires on the truck no problem, but 14.50's, no way:nope:

I'm rolling 14.5s on mine with about 5.5" in the front, I don't think an extra 1/2 inch is going to clear that extra 4 inches of tire (well, 2 inches from the hub to where it's going to hit the bumper). I kicked out my bumper an inch, too.
From experience, it's not so much the 39 part that is going to hurt you, it's the 15.5 part. I'd go with an 8 inch if you want 39s. I'd also roll 4.56 gears with 39s.

the ones i want are 39 14.50 ona 20 inch wheel. so they the same width.

Hey ms smokin,
have in mind that going higher most of the times involves a bunch of other things like new alignment, quicker worn out bushings...
Bigger tires pull on your chassis, more weight gives all involved steering parts a hard time to work.
Going higher is just the inital cost. It always has a rat tail on it.

Im runnin 8in and 38*15.50s on my ford. Only rub on the drivers side leaf spring at full lock. Im gonna do the cut out flares and 44s when the 38s wear down a little, but these kumhos wear really good and i think its gonna be awhile.

how bad do your 15 50 stick out? and what size wheels u got?

04redstroker 04-09-2010 01:39 PM

Ive got 20x10in wheels, dont rember the offset. Ill have to measure, but they stick out pretty good, and if i didnt live in texas they would be beggin for a ticket.lol Ill go measure it here in a few min.

ms. smokin strokin 04-09-2010 05:47 PM

so u think 14.50 with fender flares would be ok?

04redstroker 04-10-2010 11:50 AM

Alot depends on the wheel. My tires stick out past the fender about 4.5in.

Karls03 04-10-2010 07:17 PM

Better check the price on Bushwhacker cut out flares (cut outs if you intend on using them to clear bigger tires). There's a reason that I bought a lift and not Bushwhacker cut outs. Standard fender flares aren't very wide (about 2 -3 inches) and won't help with tire clearance, meaning that you are going to need an 8 inch lift for 38/39s unless you use the cut outs.

ms. smokin strokin 04-12-2010 07:14 AM

guess ill just put them on then see how bad they stick out. if cops stop me ill just put on flares. dumb cops!

THATS IT?! those dirty pigs give us inspectin tickets so its not like i can just pass up 20 dollars and be done. about once every 2 months they stop literaly every truck in town and find something to write tickets for wether it be straight pipe window tint tires waterver they just like being dicks. so i deff be getin fender flares AFTER i get stoped haha.

DIRTYMAX2004 04-13-2010 08:31 AM

haha move to Montana. you can do pretty much anything you want. i was goin to register my truck in Montana so i could get away with stuff but it turned out to be a pain in the a** to do it.

DieselCrawler 04-15-2010 12:01 PM

what are the local laws for your state, and what state is it? i know in pa tires cant stick out at all and if u do lift it it needs mudflaps. also bumpers cant be above 30 inches to the bottom.

tires can not stick out at all. if they do fenderflares have to cover them. if they stick out past the flares then you get a ticket. as far as a lift i dont even think the cops know whats legal or not because sometimes they will pull over guys with 6 inches others they just leave alone. but no one goes over 6. windows can not be tinted darker than 25% and no straight pipes. any of this will get you an inspection ticket. even if you just have loud exhaust they will pull you over or if you black smoke they will pull you over. its realy freaking stupid if you ask me.

04redstroker 04-15-2010 06:06 PM

Headlights Max 54" Min 24", Taillights Max 72" Min 15", Foglights Max 30" Min 12". That the only lift law in texas. And very rarely do they check the light hight unless your ridiculous huge or a rice burner.lol Also, your allowed to relocate your lights. Alot of people block the factory lights and hang some off the bottom of the bumper to be legal. Not sure what the law is on fender flares, but if there is one, its not inforced.

Window tint is 35% but most people run 20% and your fine unless the cop fells like being picky that day.

No muffler is required, but you can still get a noise violation.

And I've rolled the coal in front of cops before and most dont care. Theres even a couple cops who live in my area that drive bad ass diesels.lol

Just a few reason why Texas is the only state I'd live in.lol
