hey guys quick question.. i plan on getting 35x12.5x15's tomorrow for very cheap.. goodyear mtr's for 400 bucks.. but i need to know FOR SURE that 15 inch wheels will fit my 2001 ram 1500 4x4.. its just a regular dodge (non sport or offroad) but i've heard yes's and no's so its a iffy question.. but im not going to waste my time and money on wheels and tires that wont fit.. thanks

 

I have a 2001 Extended Cab 1500 4x4 with 15" wheels and 37" tires. To get the 15" wheels to fit, the brake calipers had to be grinded down a bit. It had 15" wheels on it when I bought it, and after replacing the front calipers, we realized this. It does work though.

 

how much was grinded off?? so it shouldnt take to much major modifying to make it work

 

I didn't do it myself, so I don't know exactly. It couldn't have been much because he removed the wheel, grinded the caliper and had the wheel back on in less that 30 minutes. I do know that it was the top of the caliper that was grinded down. It may also depend on the size calipers that are installed to.

 

alright thanks.. now i just need to find some nice cheap 15 inch wheels and i'll be set to order a 3 inch body lift on top my 3 inch suspension so these tires wont rub
