It is not possible to put anything smaller than a 17" wheel on the new Rams. In fact, some aftermarket 17" wheels will not clear the calipers.

why would you want smaller rims? I can't wait to upgrade my stock 17"s to 20 "...

I don't think ANY of us view our Trucks as sports cars... Its just the fact that we can Kill many sports cars... plus there isn't anything wrong with have a fast truck that can out ride, out tow and out perform any other truck (sport trucks excluded)...

I think it would look really good with some BIG OL Swampers... Post some pics when you make the change, are you going to lift it?

If you can live with the stock 20"ers, go to the local tire/rim dealer lots of times they have take offs fairly cheap. I was looking at tires here in omaha and they had (sold) a set for $500. The guy said the 19 year old took delivery straight from the dealer and bought $3000 worth of tires and rims. Hmmmmmm I didnt know the drug business was that good here hahahahahahahaha. Weel maybe it isnt that funny

ok, hemi3. Pardon my ignorance, but I had a vision of you wanting to put on tiny tires and rims as is so often seen on the rice-burning POSs. I like the look of the mudders, even tho it isn't my style...
Good luck!!
