Default New 17" Wheels on Truck - Pictures

So I finally decided what the hell and put the Dodge 17" wheels that I've had laying around on the truck. Plan was to wait but I got an urge to do it so...

Got some pictures, sorry it's dark, get's dark around 7-7:30 here, took me an 1 1/2hr with the factory bottle jack (the only floor jack around couldn't lift the front tires)


Day picture


Old Wheel









From what I know (please correct me if I'm wrong) these rims were available on the '01 Ram 4x4 OffRoad Edition but not the 2 wheel drive ones. Rims are 17" and tires are 265/70/17 so I figure I got between 2"-3" of lift maybe.

What ya'll think? Tires on it now were on the rims when I got them, not going to be the regular tire. All but 1 center cap was missing, saw some new ones on eBay around $43 last I looked.

I love those off-road rims , I would change mine for them if I could . They look good they way they are , don't paint black that would look cheap

I had the same ones you took off on your truck except mine were all chipped. So i found a nice new set on ebay of the off road edition. got them for $102.00 shipped to my door. these things are brand new. Going to run the old ones through the winter and them get some 35's to stick on the new rims
