Default what rim size's will fit

im lifting my 2003 dodge ram 1500 2wd with the 4.7 and im just wondering if i can fit a 15 inch rim seems no one in this city can tell me. im putting a 6 inch fabtech lift on it and they suggest 4.5 in back spacing i wanna get 35/12.50/15 cus there atleast 100$ cheaper per tire and way easier to find so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated cus i really dont feel like spending 2000$ on tires that will fit my 17's when i can get the same tires for a 15" rim for half the price.

4wheelparts.com has always been great to me.

I believe even right now, they are offering 4 ProComp tires for the price of 3...

Best bet, find a tire you like, and just dig around on the internet, youll be suprised how a lot of websites vary in price.

17'S and bigger. I went through the same thing when I bought my RAM,trying to get the 15's I already had to fit.....NOT! Brakes are too big for 15's. I bought my tires and rims from JEGGS that are on the truck now.

thanks guys ive found some pretty good deals on quite a few sites but i happen to live in canada and once i do the exchange rate and shipping even a set of 1000$ tires ends up being like 1500$ i guess im just gonna have to stick with the 33'''s that a guy here in calgary gave me a good deal on . he said he could sell me baja mtz 33/12.50/17 for 280 each

he also just told me he can get me the trxus mt's in the same size for about 300$ each so looks like i'll just have to go with the 33's which im sure probbaly wont even make that much of a difference does anyone have a truck with a large lift who's running 33's just so i could see what it looks like
