Default 16" wheels for Snows?

Will 16" wheels fit my 2003 Ram 2500 4WD regular cab? I would prefer the higher profile 75 series tire for use in deep snow.

Sorry, 16" wheels will not fit on the 3 gen Ram`s. Brake rotors are to big. Smallest rim size are 17".

not all 17's will fit, some manufactures make the center of there rims thick for strenth my original choice of wheels for my truck were 17's but due to this reason i had to choose a different wheel, but did notice not alot of clearence between caliper and rim maybe 3/8"
