Stock 2003 1500

Edit: Sorry about the title! Totally forgot to finish my thought.

I'm already riding on 20s, but I want the 22" SRT wheels, will I have to modify anything else besides possibly the speedometer (to recalibrate to the new rims), or am I good to go just fitting them on? Will they catch the wheel arch or anything in the front while turning? Will they hit the top when taking a bump? What? I'm clueless in this department.



Relevant: the way it looks as of now.

Thanks!

If you go with the oem tire size for the 22's you shouldnt have any problems with rubbing if you stay with the factory ride height....going lower will be a different story. As far as speedo recalibration, if the tire diameter for the 22's is the same diameter as the tires on your 20's then youll be ok too providing the tires on the 20's are a factory size

That's what I would have done. I was thinking about it last night and logically in my mind it should work. Thanks for reassuring me!

If you are looking for a more sporty look with those SRT 22", IMO level or drop would help.

 

[OD Ram]

Yeah I was probably going to level it. I still want a good ride though, dropping might not be the greatest. Also, with the 22x10 SRT wheels, what size tire would I need to match the current width of my stock tires? Is there a place online where I can figure this out? Or a tire shop?

Edit: also what costs would having a shop fit the tires be? Round a couple hundred?

My ride quality wasn't affected to much on a 2/4 drop compared to stock.

I think you can drop the rear 2 inches by just installing 2nd Gen leaf spring hanger assy in the rear, metal piece with 2 bushings, easy install as i did my rear leafs a while back. This lowering trick was mentioned a long time ago by Rubberfrog as I was considering it but instead rekeyed the front.

 

[OD Ram]

Good to hear that it won't affect the ride. But what tire size would I need?

 

[03MopaRamman]

By the looks of it you have lots of clearance for just about anything back there.

What's the cheapest place to get the SRT rims? Ebay has told me about $1000 for the set, not including shipping. That the cheapest?

 

[TheSatinPumpkin]

sweet price if oem. If they are FR then that it sound like the general price for 22x10.

Factory replica. I'm on a tighter budget, but I'm going to get them in gloss black anyways. Gonna look good I think.
