Pic Request: Lowered on 17" wheels

[SublimeRT]

Hi guys, as the thread title states, I'm looking for pictures of lowered Rams on 17" wheels. I would also like to know what tire sizes you guys are using with the 17s. 18s are welcome to post up as well. I'm going to be needing new tires in the next few months and am thinking of losing the big heavy 20s. Thanks

Thanks guys,the info is very appreciated.
I did check with my local tire shop,but they aren't a General Tire dealer,and they didn't have much in the way of 17's.
I'll hunt up a General Tire dealer,thanks for the heads up.

This is my second set, the first were Dunlop SP5000 and 3 out of the 4 had hard spots and drive horrible. Finally the shop replaced them with the General's.

How do you guys like the Generals.
How do they seem for life expectancy
They are one of the few tire brands i've never tried.
Thanks for the tips and advice.

Thanks for the replies so far guys. Good looking trucks. I have a few more questions though. I've heard of problems fittings 17s in the front with some lowered trucks? I have the McGaughys spindles up front. And also how much room is there in the rear wheel wells in these trucks? TheSatinPumpkin - is the 305/45 about the limit as far as width?

I found a Mickey Thompson 30x12x18 tire that looks good. Found a pic on a Chevy truck and it looks nice. I will probably go with something staggered front to rear. Right now I have the stock 20s with 275/55-20s all around and I get rubbing in the front with only the spindle drop and half a coil cut off the front springs. I'd also like to go a bit lower all around with some aftermarket springs and a c-notch. I like the tall tire look in the rear though.

I'm having trouble finding some wheels I like in 17 or 18 though. I like the stock chrome 17" steel wheels. And I like the silver aluminum 5 spoke 17s on the 2013 Rams. I think there could be something I like better though. Those SST wheels are alright. Are they difficult to find in good condition?

I like the SS/T rims, they are 17x9 and can be bought at Hub Cap Heaven for $130 ea. shipped. I prefer 18" with a larger selection of tires available. My choice of rims are the Durango and these 18" American Racing Silver AR898 5x5 5 Sportage Durango Grand Vitara Rims Wheels | eBay

Really thinking of putting my stockers back on. I like the plain Jane look

I had a set of Durango 18" that I gave away. I have no idea what I was thinking. Here is a set of Durango 17" that I painted.

Holy crap satinpumpkin, your truck is spot on the color I thought of in my head, I will probably do that in the future and the wheels look awesome.
Do you have any pictures straight from the side? I would love to see the difference in size
