Question Will 2011 dodge ram 1500 rims on 2003 dodge ram

This may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find the information so maybe someone out there knows. I have the opportunity to get brand new 275/60-20 tires on new 2011 ram 1500 stock rims for really cheap but I want know if they will fit on to a 2003 ram 1500 4x4 that came stock with 245/70-17 ?
If anyone can answer this or point me in the right direction that would be great.

Yes, they will fit. The stock 2003 20" tire was 275/55/20, so your speedo will be off by a hair (if that). Nothing that isn't correctable by a programmer.

Only time you'd run into problems was if you were trying to put 2001 and earlier rims on a 2002 or later ram. The brakes are bigger and wouldn't allow for the older ram 16" rim to fit.

Will raise the truck and you might have to get the speedometer recalibrated.
