yes. 17 is the smallest u can go. and i wou;d go with either 17s or 20s because it is very hard to find some truck/suv tires in 18" sizes. and 18" sounds wrong on a Dodge. dodge has always had 20/17/16/15/ and smaller im sure a long time ago but all with 5 SPOKE WHEELS. 6 spokes are for ford and chevey

You can find 20" tires all over craigslist. Price some Nittos there first before you make your mind

18's may sound wrong, but they look oh soooo right. Go with 18's!
