Default Rims?

hey guys whats up listen i have a 2006 dodge ram 4x4 with the factory 20 inch rims now the thing is i lifted the truck 9 inches and it can clear 39.5 inch tires but they are way to expensive for 20 inch rims so what i need to know is whats the smallest rim i can fit over my caliper and rotor without rubbing?

17" isthe smallest wheel diameter you can fit on a 3rd gen. Ram. I sure the hell hope your truck is a 2500 or 3500 because if not, your IFS front end won't be able to handle tires that huge. You'll be replacing your front end components constantly. I've seen many an IFS truck blow up front ends and have to be flatbedded in over the last decade or so that IFS front ends have been used by the "big 3" on 1/2 ton trucks.
