Does anyone know of any brand of 15" aluminum wheel that will fit an 01 1500 4x4. I know due to the size of the rotors on the front that it can be hard (maybe impossible without grinding) to do. I currently have 15" chrome plated steel wheels that just barely clear but the winter salt is harsh and rusting the crap out of them. I don't want to have to trade tires and wheels because the tires are so new, so I'm looking for some aluminum wheels that will fit. Any help would be appreciated.

 

The lowest price 1995 Ram with V6
like Duke Power bought a fleet of for service trucks
had 15 inch steel wheels from the factory.

My guess is that the aluminum factory 15 inch wheels
from early 1990s Ram Chargers
would fit.

The bigger disk brakes on 2nd gen Rams started about 1998

 

As far as I understand, the larger disks are for the off-road and/or sport models (which you have). Also, in 99 they went to a larger (2 piston IIRC) caliper. This would prevent the fitment unless you grind off a little. I have a 98 and fit 15's with 3.75" BS in order to clear the knuckle and TRE's.

If your current 15's clear, I'd say you should be fine as long as you get the right BS.

 

Yes my current chrome clear and I don't think backspacing is an issue. The space between the caliper and wheel is the problem. I currently have less than~ 1/8" clearance.
