New Member - 18" Steel Wheel/Winter Tires for 2026 Ram Big Horn

[Granite Goat]

Hey folks, new member here. I'm picking up a 2026 Big Horn this week and want to set up dedicated winter wheels/tires for Michigan winters. My usual MO is to get the smallest steel wheels that will fit and put decent mid-range snow tires on (have a nice set of Cooper Evolution Winters that I have loved on my Durango I am trading in). Has anybody sourced a generic 18" wheel that will fit around the brakes? Otherwise I will try to find a set of 18" take-off wheels from a Tradesman.

I don't know what your budget is but craigslist often has Ram rims listed. If you are looking for just 18" rims they are available. Many change out the rims for custom and 18 Bighorn rims are plentiful. I don't use facebook marketplace but it seems the place to look.

Thanks. I'm a user of Craigslist and FB Marketplace, so I should be able to find something. I was mostly curious of anybody had sourced an new aftermarket 18"X7.5 or 8 steel wheel that is known to fit. I prefer steel for winter wheels so if I biff a curb I don't end up with a shattered wheel. I'll do some more research.

It should be possible. My spare wheel is steel and is an 18". Looks to be full width, too, not a donut.

I've been on the 5th gen forum since mid 2018 and a daily user, can't say I recall any posts on steel wheels. Best wishes on your pursuit.

Saw those. Local pick up in NC. A bit of a hike for me.

Yeah, I'm a bit of an odd-ball. Most people are usually going the other direction to achieve a state of BIGAZZ WHEELS!
