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.
