what happens to your speedo when using different diameter tires?
Wide tires

Here is the thread I started with of pics of the slicks on and off the truck.

The slicks as you could probably tell are from M&H they are 16x14.5x30.5 the rims are 2 piece forged CCW 16x10
Couldn't tell you what they cost new cause I picked them up from Ram from Hell. He gave me a great deal that I just couldn't pass up. Thanks Eric.

How much do you have to shave them? OR, how much can you shave them safely?
Your speedo will be off, but you can fix it by a quick visit to your dodge service center. It is my understanding that a calibration to the ABS will fix it. I was quoted $100.00 to do mine.Cudajon said:

Are you sure about this? It was my understanding that the speedo sensor is located in the transmission and thus is unaffected by gear or tire size changes. I'm pretty sure all the HEMI guys that are swapping over to 4.56 gears don't have to worry about recalibrating their speedo's. Can anyone else verify this?

The speedo sensor is a tone ring that is between the ring gear and carrier. It is also what the ABS uses for a rear sensor.
There is no need to recalibrate for gear changes, there is for tire size changes.

NightRunner385 said:His tires must be 325/50/22. I found this on the Toyo homepage:
http://marktg.toyotires.com/file/35.pdf
It looks like Toyo makes a Proxes S/T and a Proxes S/T II
It appears that the 325 size is only available on the original Proxes S/T, so they may not be available much longer if Toyo is replacing them with a newer/next generation line of tires.
FSTJACK please correct me if I am mistaken on any of the above info.
Oh, and BTW the tires look great on the red truck. If I needed new tires, this is the size that I would go with.:rock:
EDIT: It looks like Kumho makes a 325/40/22, here's a link off their homepage: http://www.kumhousa.com/tiremodelresults.do?diameter=22&ratio=40&width=325
Anyone ever use these?
I have the 325x40x22 Kumho's.

Mine are 16s bro... shaved calipers
rim size that fits ours without shaving 17x10 124mm offset for 5 0n 5.5",
american eagle alloy series 058 will fit without shaving. call discount tire or google but moes performance has alot of wheels that will fit our truck, but look under the 1500 not srt 10. 17x9 stock 1500 wheel will work but you won't be able to got with a wider tire.

Hey Jack, those 325's on your red truck almost look like stock tires. I like how beefy they look. Which 325's are they? 325/???/22...
remember if you go wider (say a 325x 40x22) your going a tad taller too. in effect changing your gearing. (40% 0f 325 for side wall height versus 40% of 315)
