I was under the impression that we could not go any smaller than a 17" wheel...? Can we fit a 16"?

16" wheels will NOT clear the calipers. You must go 17" or larger. There are many tire sizes in the 17" size since it is becoming an ever increasing wheel size.

Negative. 17" is as small as you can go.

As above, you can't go smaller than 17"... That being said, I'd love to find some 18"s to match with some TA KO's...

Oh, BTW, good to see you online again Chet, been pullin' for you. I know you'll ride again.

Ask an tire/wheel expert. Can get sizing, pricing and place your order!

i work at a tire tire store and install tires we just put a set of buck shot maxxis mudders 285/70/17 on a 04 dodge ram QC 4x4 and they fit just fine and it sat lower to the ground than most of the other dodge 4x4s, so i would think a 295 would fit just fine, and im really wanting to say that we installed some 305's one time on the same type of dodge but it sat just a lil higher but was still all factory.
