Hello , I just recently purchased a 2019 ram bighorn 4x4. I want to change the wheel size to a 17. Does anyone know if those will fit ??

Also looking to put a 3 inch lift on , any suggestions?

Off topic, sort of, but wonder if you could shave the corner of the calipers to clear the wheels? People do this on other vehicles, not sure I would do it, but people do it

Why 17s? Still plenty of sidewall with an 18.

Talked to a guy at the dealership an he told me that the truck comes with a standard 17 inch spare so if I wanted too I could run 17s

The guy at the dealership doesn't know what he's talking about. Even a 2019 DT tradesman comes with 18x7.5 steel wheels, unless you have a 2019 1500 Classic (old body style) you can run 17s. As it is with 18s there is only about 1/8" clearance from the front brake calipers on the new Ram.

This is a shot of an 18" fuel wheel on my truck.

Man I remember when a 16.5 was considered a massive wheel.
