Wheels & Tires

The dual piston brakes were incorporated into the Ram so that there would be an increase in stopping power and a decrease in stopping disctance. Even so, they generate a lot of heat when being used, and always seem a heartbeat away from fading.
Going to a smaller wheel also decreases the cooling area surrounding the caliper/rotor which could induce quicker fade or failure. It's your ram, but saving a dime and ending up spending a dollar isn't solid logic
Also, even if the wheel fits, placing stickon weights in the wrong spot could lead to interference. Hacking at your brake caliper with a hand grinder will at the least ruin your core value on a rebuild (about 55.00).
Pay the 2 bucks...and do it right.

well i have an update for you. my 15's run great. but if youre going to put anything on bigger than a 32/33 rear gear your axles. my truck runs fine until its been running for a while then if you push the gas pedal down any more than 1/4 throttle the trans starts to slip from overheating do to the larger tires. my 265/75/16's are going back on either today or tomorrow.
