16" wheel?
has anybody ever put 16"wheels on a newer dodge? i have a buddy that did it on a chevy by grindin down a couple ridges on the calipers. just wonderin if that could be done on a dodge or not? the reason i guess is obvious... cheaper wheels and tires! i like the big wheels and all but i can't spend $200 on a wheel and above that for tires. any info appreciated.
Thanx

You might run into issues with your sidewalls flexing when you run rims that small. I notice mine "giving" and I'm only running 17's. Just passing on that info as food for thought, in case you didn't already think of that.
I don't know if I've seen anyone running 16's, but I definitely see where you're coming from. $200+ a tire is ridiculous!

ok this may be just me but,why would you want to grind your caliper down to fit smaller rims?.I understand the cheaper tire factor.but you also have to realise that when your grinding your calipers down that you might gind them down to far.Then you'd have to replace the calipers.or lets say that you did grind them down,and you need brake work done like replacing the calpiers.Unless you do it yourself some kid that works at theese automotive shops isn't going to be able to figure out why your tires don't fit with the new calipers on.and i highley doubt that the shop which ever one you'd take it to would grind down your calipers so your tires would fit.and if they did,i wouldn't want to take any of my vehicles to them.........so the smallest rim i'd put on is stock 17"

the only part of the caliper that i was talkin bout grindin down was just a couple of ridges on the top. it's not really a vital part... just extra ribs stickin up. i wouldnt expect an auto shop to grind down my calipers anyways. if that kind of thing needed to be replaced i would be replacing it anyway...
