Default 20's to 16??

I want to take my 20's off for the winter and replace with 16's or 17 depending on what I can get. Would a 16 be too small and would it fit?
Would i need to recalibrate the speedo?
Thanks in advance

Either should be fine.
Get a tire with the same overall height/outside diameter and the speedo will not be an issue.

The 16's will be too small, most 17's are a tight fit.

Yeah, the brakes are too big for 16's...some 17's will do, 18's are you're safest bet.

As far as having the speedo redone, it depends on the overall diameter of tires you have on now, compared with what you end up going with.

16's will not fit over the calipers. 17's are the smallest you can go. The base ST's come with 245/70 17 tires.

I seen someone on here, who had picked up 4 steel 20's, like the spare tire under the box, and had them powdercoated i believe, it what i had planned, cept now ive parked my dodge for the winter.

I think he got them form the dealer at a decent price. dunno for sure.
