Default R/T wheels

Thinking about getting R/T wheels for my truck....

I don't want low-profile tires, and seeing as how the stock R/T wheels are 17 inches, and my current wheels are 17 inches...I'm hoping I can use my current tires on the new wheels.

Stock R/T tires are 255/55/17...mine are 245/70/17...so I assume the wheels are about the same width?

Question is...can I use my 245/70's on an R/T wheel?

If so, does anyone wanna buy my wheels? This is what I have now- and remember they are 17's....

The rim in the picture you posted is a stock pre-2001 dakota rim, isn't it? That came in 15". Did you find a replica in a 17"?
