Default will 17x10 wheels with 37x1350-17 fit my MegaCab????

Right now I've got a 2006 Mega Cab 4x4 that has 20" wheels with 35x13.50-20 tires. I have a 5" Pro Comp lift. My question is, I want to change and put on 17x10 wheels with 37x13.50-17 tires.........will it fit???? What offset do I need?

Should fit. Make sure u test fit the 17's first. Some do not work with the brake calipers!!!!!! Other than that, some minor trimming to the plastic on the bottom of the front bumper may be needed!!!!

17x9
8x6.5 offset
5" backspacing

Cant really do a test fit as the best deals I have found are on the internet............

Go to your nearest Tire place. Tell them u want some new rims, but u want to test fit one.
Give them those dimensions. If they fit, tell them thanks, and go order the ones u found online
The only reason i say this, is because i tried a set of 17's. I made it about 20 feet before i told them something was wrong. Turns out they were pushing against the calipers....since 06 ram calipers are a bit bigger than 05. There are 17" rims that will fit!!!!!

I would suggest going with an 18" tire/wheel combo if you want to change. Just to be safe with the fitment. and with a 37" tire, there will still be tons of sidewall.

I Love those XD Diesels by the way...the chrome 18" ones were on a 6-8 week national backorder though when I looked into getting them.
