I meant of the rim. Doesn't have to be on the truck. Just so we know what rim you're talking about.

 

[99ram360]

they are the first ones...and no i dont have any pics i might get some tomorrow

 

[TheMaddog]

How big are the rims?

 

[txbass06]

I haven't seen any rams with the first style before

 

[99ram360]

they are 15x7 and i have never seen them on any before iether

 

[Badger]

15x7 is kinda small. Won't be able to put a very big tire on those.

 

[99ram360]

ya i know...they have 31 10.5s and i want 33s but i really dont know if i want the rims...i might just put them on to save some time until i can buy something else

 

[bigbadram1500]

I've never seen any with that type of rim, but would be cool to see.

 

[Badger]

I would suggest 16 or 17 for a 33 but that's just my personal taste. Your issue with those rims though is width.

 

[99ram360]

ya ill put them on tomorrow and snap a pic of it so you guys can see it

What year did second gens start using larger brakes. I thought after 97 the smalles you coul go was a 16" wheel. I'm probably wrong though

 

[quietpeen]

interested to see the pics

 

[wermbang]

I believe it was around 98-99 when the switched the breaks, but I could be mistaken too

 

[txbass06]

They changed pad styles in '99

I ran those on my old K5. They were 15x8 and I ran 39.5x 13.5 Iroks on them. Ran them down to 4psi all the time and I never popped a bead. You'd be surprised how much better the bead holding capability is on a 15 over a 16 and up rim. Don't ask me how it works, just does.

 

[rambob]

I agree. dont think 15" rims fit 2nd gens

they shouldnt look bad though.
