It should. I put them on my 2000 qc with no rubbing problems. WARNING: If you don't already have fender flares, you'll soon want them if you install the 275's. You can get a set pre-painted from Dodge for $260.

Ya man, 275/60 will fit, i put them on my standard cab 2000. I love the stance, and offset they create. Look really good. Any time you park next to the 4wd or 2wd Dakotas with the stock wheel package or the SLT package, you can really tell the difference, ride better too!

Just wondering which rims you have and how wide are they? Are they the 15 x 8 or the 15 x 7's?
Just curious b/c I need some new tires and I have the 15 x 8 and I would really like some wider tires because I currently have 235/70's.

I've got the 255/65/15 Scorpion Zero's on mine
Exceptional handling upgrade both on dry and wet
pavement. Quiet on the Hway also. Coupled with Hellwig
rear swaybar 30 MPH curves are now good for 50 MPH+
and staying flat. Everyone that has seen them
really like the agressive tread pattern too.

You fellas that have changed your tires from the factory ones, how did this affect the BAS system on your Dak?

I want to change my tires to the 255 65 15's, but am wondering what this will do to the ABS system.

Thanks

As long as the new tires are the same height as the stockers, you wont have any problems. I chose the 275/60's because they were very close to the same height as the originals. No problems and they make a Dak look MEAN. Flares are a must, tho'.

Sorry....Those are 275-60-15's on factory 15x7's.
The rear has been dropped 2"... No clearance problems. Big difference in the height of stock tires...225-"75"-15's Goodyear's...They were a lot skinnier and a lot taller.

You had the Mickey Mouse tires for sure.

I still have mine, they only saw 2,900 miles.

With the V-8 and the 3:92's, it was all I could do to keep from spinning them. The 275's bite a whole lot harder.
