dodge lug pattern is 5x5.5 and as long as you stay with thatpattern it wont matter what size rim(unless too big) you use
i run 20 inch rims on my 97 ram with a 275x10 tire.

The tire to rim size is really a matter of preference on your behalf....I run 35's on mine, I had a set of 16 inch rims with 35's on em and they looked alright but then I got the set of 15 inch rims with the 35's and they look so much better...
All depends on the look you're going for...more chrome or more rubber...I prefer more rubber...

Just my $0.02

The only problem with the wheel size is that they might not clear the brakes. Im not sure because ive always ran 16s. The 33' should clear just fine because i ran 33s for a while and they rubbed a little at full turn.
