Would it be possible to swap brakes with a 4th gen 1500? Offroading requires as much tire as possible and aftermarket 18s are a tight squeeze. I've grinded off a few weights, got rocks/sand wedged in-between creating am awful chalkboard and nails sound lol. My 2500 cummins utilizes calipers that allow 17s idk why they would have such a tight tolerance on these rebels when it's obvious, the more tire, the better... There are also multiple options in 17s for forged beadlocks and such, not so much on 18s if at all.

If the caliper bolts line up I don't see why not, you will lose the 6th lug though not sure if that will be an issue. Maybe get a set of TRX rims with the beadlock?
