Does anyone like OEM 17s?

[Dr. Righteous]

Personally I prefer the 17" wheels over the 20" ones on mine.
You have much more options as far as tire selection and tires are usually cheaper.
When these tires are done I'm going to hunt for a OEM set of 17s for a set of 33" BFG ATs.

Had 17's on my '06 and liked them a lot. Wasn't an option on the '16 I got, but so far I like the 20's.

i am looking to switch to 17's now that i need tires on my 14 ram with oem 20's

does anyone know what the largest size tire that will fit with out interference?

i tow enough that i don't want to run a level kit in the front

I only half qualify. Here is a before and after leveled with OEM 20s and then after I went down to 17s.

i went with a 285/75 that I think would have fit without any extra height but look here instead. http://www.ramforum.com/f40/guide_leveling_wheel_tire_sizing_06_4wd_ram_1500s-70918/

My 14 came with the 20" chrome clads and I dont really like the look. Also I drive in the city more often than I dont so they are going to get ruined. Ive had the truck for two weeks and already damaged one on a curb. When driving a full size truck around tiny overcrowded city streets your often faced with scraping a car or scrapping a curb so im definitely missing the 16s on my last truck. I need to hurry up and switch them out while 3 of them are in sell able shape but I cant make up my mind on if I want aftermarket 17s or stock 17s

I went with aftermarket so I could put on a 0 offset without adding spacers but I needed a little more tread.

I feel like I am the only person who likes Oem 17" wheels. I used Oem wheels with my jeeps and now with my ram. Everyone has 20s and rock stars Etc. I hate the added cost of tires for 20" wheels and I like standing out from all the other Rams with Oem 20s. The only Oem 20s I really like are the Sport 20" wheels.

I have a black 2016 CC Hemi Express with the Oem 17" aluminum 5 spoke wheels and I really like them. I think they will look even better with some bigger white lettered tires and a level kit/5100s.

Does anyone have any pics of theirs with these wheels?

I'm with you. I chose the 17's over the 20's for many of the same reason you mentioned.
Smaller wheels are also better for towing.

How wide are the factory 17" wheels?

I'm turning in to a hypocrite on this subject.


The more I drive my truck the more I feel like it looks like a real tradesman and not an express and I'm having the desire for Oem 20" wheels.

I'm looking for a set of 4 silver 2013+ silver express wheels or sport wheels with good if not new tires.

I will trade my Oem 17s with new tires plus cash of anyone in the NH area has a set.

Actually they make the clad covers for your style rims that turn it black chrome... for 80bucks might wanna check it out. I have the 2012 20inch chrome and wish I could turn em black.. but they dont make them for my wheel.

I have the OEM chrome clads on my Big Horn and I'm thinking when I get new wheels/tires changing to a 17" setup.

 

[DamnRam1500]

I've seen the wheel skins as they call them. I don't want black or black chrome or regular chrome. I just want the look of the silver 2013+ express 20s or sport 20s.

If anyone wants to trade with me send me a message.
