Default 03 1500 minimum rim size
Hey all
I'm looking at an 03 Ram 1500 SLT with bald tires and i was wondering if i got 15" rims if they'd fit. I have like new 33x12.5r15s from my dakota i'd love to mount on this truck i just am not sure if the rims would fit.
Thanks
-Jm5

as far as I know- 17" is minimum. what you want to do with a 15" on a truck??? looks like a skateboard then...ok...taste is personal...- I think about having 20" to fill the wheel arches out.

You can just get 16.5s to fit if you shave the calipers a bit. 15's? Ain't no way...

The bolt pattern is different anyway.

Sticky

but.. 17"+ only. anything smaller doesn't clear the calipers.
