good luck getting 16"s to fit on a ram.

Not true, there are a lot of guys running 16's. You just need to have a grinder and grind down the calipers a little to make them fit. I hear it isn't a horrible job to do either. I haven't done it yet because I haven't found any 16's I like that much.

i dont know if people would do all this just to fit the smallest rims they can.
then again they have those guys who put big rims or tires on trucks that do not fit without modifications

haha do all what? Sit in the drive way for a couple hours grinding, mocking up the new wheel, grind some more until it fits? A lot of people have done it.
