Arrow Which rims and tires

Can't decide what size wheels I want. currently running 32x12.5 on 15s. don't really like my rims but don't want to pay for new ones. I think I like more rim less tire better. thinking of going with 18" rim, 35" tires on back and 33" on front. Where can I get 18" rims at a good price?

I didn't know anyone made any 18" wheels for Rams that looked good....


I wouldn't recommend running 33's on front 35's on rear, I have a feeling it wouldn't be nice to the drive line if running in 4WD. The tires spin at different speeds after all.

Off road wheels look good, they're 17".
You can run 35" tires in the back and 33" tires in the front if you never engage four wheel drive. It would look a little goofy though.

I'll look at 17" rims vs 18"

Dont get 15s. That look went out of style in 1996.

no I have 15s and I don't like the way they look. also too much slop in tire caused by more side wall.
