Default 06 2500 wheel ?

Will a 16 inch or 16.5 wheel work on a 2500 4x4?[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

You need 17" for a 2006, the brakes will not allow a smaller wheel. you may be able to make it fit by shaving some off the calipers though.

actually, I'm not 100% sure about the gassers and the wheel size... I do know that the heavy duty have massive brakes and require the bigger wheels. If your wheel shopping, you'll need an 8x6.5 bolt pattern.
