Default 15" wheel on a 97 Ram 2500?

My brother has a brand new set of 35" MTs and I wanted to put them on my 97 Ram 2500 but the tires are for a 15" wheel. Has anyone put a 15" wheel on their Ram? I was looking for 15" wheels and could not really find any.

I'm pretty sure your right. I have a feeling the caliper will get in the way.

Unless you get some with a helluva offset... maybe

I don't know that it would even be worth looking for a wheel with that much offset. Cause to much wear on already week parts. Best bet is just wait until you can get the correct wheels and tires

I'll hold off. I wasn't planning on getting bigger tires but figured if they're free... Why not.
