I'm not sure about shipping cause I haven't ordered them yet. But the guy who sells them is very popular on pirate4x4.com and everybody there who has ordered them said shipping was very fair.

Yeah, why can't ya'll go smaller than a 17" rim?

3rd gen rams require 17" wheels or larger to clear brake rotors and calipers

Well now that you mention that I should go measure the clearance on my axles to make sure I can run a 16.5 inch rim! My front axle I'm about to put on is a '76 Ford F150 HP dana 44 with the knuckles and everything outside them off an HD '79 F250 dana 44 with flat tops.

I have a thread in gen 1 dak with pictures of everything.

The rear axle I'm going to use is a full floating GM 14 bolt... yeah, yeah, I know, its a GM axle, but I got a good deal on it and it matches the gears and lug pattern of my front.
