off road wheels
i want to put a set of some off-road wheels/tires on my 03 hemi 4x4. i was wondering if anyone knows off-hand if 15's will fit on the ram, or will i have to go up, and if so what is the smallest rim i can use, thanks for the help.
I'm sure you could go with 15s.. not only will it look sumwhat dumb... but you'll have to change the at least..... the rotors...the calipers..... pad sizes i'm sure will change.... then you'll probably have to refabricate the whole brake mounting system....and who knows what else.... I think you'd pay way tooo much for a tiny *** rim.....
I've got 17" Pro Comp wheels on my truck. I forget what model # they are, but I think they are 1069, maybe? Polished aluminum. They look exactly like the Mickey Thompson wheels, but cost significantly less.
Looks can be deceiving: The Pro Comp 1069 and Mickey Thompson Classic II are far from the same quality.
I do the computer networking for a small tire store chain in south Ga. (3 stores in 2 towns) it's where I get all my tires, rims, and a good bit of other stuff (winch, grill guard, air bags) because he gets them for me atwholesale. Anyway, I was looking at the Pro Comp 1069 and he told me not to get them, not as strong a cast as the Mickey Thompson's (he's said he'd sent back 4 bent ones, 3 from off-road and 1 curb damage) and even though he's sold more MT's, he's never sent one back. He also stated that the bolt holes are a weak spot on the Pro Comps, where the MT's have steel inserts in the bolt holes, giving much more strength. You may also note in each tires specs, that the MT's have an 800 lb. higher load rating per tire, that's a significant difference!
So, based on his advise, I got the MT's (and cost on the MT's were only about $15 more each). No regrets whatsoever.
Not trying to **** in your corn flakes Chet, just passing on a little advise I got from someone in the industry.
