I have a Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 5.7 Hemi with tires 265/70R/17. The stock wheel is 17x8.

I need a new wheel for a spare tire. I have the opportunity to buy four 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 wheels for $50 but it appears as if the stock size for these wheels are 17x7. The 2016 Ram wore the same size tire as my 05.

Does this matter 1 inch matter? Is there anything else I should be looking at?

Thanks.

They are just a bit narrower and you won't be able to go much larger than a 265 section width tire.
