will 15inch wheels fit our trucks? or do they interfere with the brakes

 

Unfortunately, yes they do. And 15x10s are the most duplicated and worst looking designs for our Dodge trucks.

 

well only reason i ask is i cant find a cheap set of 16 inch tires... and i can pick up a set of 15's for 50 bucks and tires are almost 40 bucks per tire cheaper

 

Later model year genIIs (00/01?)have dual piston calipers, they can not get away with 15s.

On older genIIs though you can run a 15" rim depending on its width & backspacing.

On my 96 at the dragstrip I run 15x7" Weld draglite rims w/skinnies & 15x8 Welds w/12.5" slicks on the rear. (thats what in my sig pic)
IIRC, I have 4.5" BS on them (new in 98)No clearance issues.
Cant put the wheel weights on the inside edge of the rim, on the front or they will get torn off by the lower c arms.
Have to either clamp to outside edge or use the stick ons & mount them on the back side but as close to the outside as possible (if that makes sense lol).

 

Here is a set of 15" wheels with really small tires off of a GMC Tracker. Bolted right up.

Craigslist. There are tons of decent used 245/70-16, 245/75-16, 265-75-16, 235/85-16's out there to be had cheap.

 

That almost makes me want to cry. A Ram should never have that small of ties on it, it just looks very wrong. But I do understand where you are coming from, I just put some brand new all-season tires on, was about $600.

 

I think he put those tires on their for the express purpose of smoking them to shreds. Not like he planned to drive it that way.

 

15x10 dick cepek wheels fit on my 01 ram... and they fit on my 96 ram for the couple of days i had them on. myth=busted... (i think 5.5 inch backspacing btw)

 

Um...Harsh?

Here's my '99 with 15X10" Centerlines:
